Sam linebacker with quality play strength and a fight-it-out demeanor. Rose is much better in the box, where he can scrape downhill and attack the blocking scheme. He's more than capable of playing off blocks and disrupting downhill rushing attacks, but his success rate suffers greatly when forced to cover more ground and make open-field tackles. He's a physical blitzer on passing downs but will be a liability in coverage. Rose has a chance to become a backup 4-3 Sam or 3-4 inside linebacker but his lack of pursuit speed could hinder his upward mobility.
Two-year starter at inside linebacker who plays at a consistent level but fails to really stamp games as his own. Hummel's testing numbers and ability to step into a core special-teams role will elevate his chances of making a team as a late-round pick or undrafted free agent, but his recognition and flow to the football are just average. He has the athleticism to potentially compete for a three-down backup role but he'll need to play to the testing numbers as a pro.
