Tommy Eichenberg

Thicker bodied prospect. Not quite as long as other linebacker prospects who will begin college with a good muscle base. Very explosive hitter. Strong, takes on blockers with the same violence, and is a strong tackler. Has good closing speed and plays at full speed consistently. Runs through contact, and attacks ball carriers with good angles. Shows instincts and headiness in dropping into zone coverage, but still needs additional experience in man to man. Projects as a true MIKE with excellent intangibles. Should compete for time early in his career and will be a productive college player. Projects to be drafted in or near the third round of the NFL draft with development.
