Overview

Rennie is a short undersized linebacker that has been productive for the Bulldogs over the past three seasons. He has put up big numbers as a two year starter and is one of Georgia’s most active defenders. Rennie is quicker than fast and is best between the tackles. He plays hard but doesn’t have great range to the sideline. He is inconsistent with leveraging the ball as he doesn’t always take proper angles as the play unfolds. He understands route progressions and coverage schemes but again his lack of pure speed may make him a liability in this phase of the game. Rennie Curran maybe a better college player than NFL prospect in this year’s draft.

Analysis

Strengths

Curran is the definition of a tough, gritty, competitive linebacker. He was highly-productive during his time at Georgia. He plays with great instincts when diagnosing against the run. Despite smaller stature, has been an extremely durable player. Is a solid tackler who can make plays in the open field.

Weaknesses

Curran really lacks size for the linebacker position. Also lacks great range and speed when attacking outside running plays. Can take inconsistent angles and occasionally takes false steps. Struggles at times in man-to-man coverage and when asked to drop deep into zone coverage.
