Linebacker
Linebacker has probably been the quietest position all spring. With Dillon Bates and Jalen Reeves-Maybin both out until this summer with injury, plenty of extra reps have been passed around. But Darrin Kirkland Jr. still stands out as the centerpiece of the defense this spring. He was already an incredible athlete, but after working with new defensive coordinator Bob Shoop, he has really grasped a hold of the defensive playbook and his football intelligence seems higher than ever.
