USFL Player Rankings: Inside Linebackers

The NFL Draft Bible previews the USFL ‘reboot’ season with exclusive player rankings!

It’s not the sexiest group of pro prospects but the inside linebackers across the USFL include a bunch of blue-collar workers who constantly show up around the football.

The only player amongst the group to have actually registered a tackle in the NFL is Blair Brown (Ohio) of the Pittsburgh Maulers, formerly of the Jacksonville Jaguars (5th round pick in 2017)—he also recently competed at HUB Football.

A member of five NFL teams and a sixth round pick by the New England Patriots (2018), Christian Sam continues to put in work. After spending parts of two seasons with the Miami Dolphins, Terrill Hanks (New Mexico State) is one player who has yet to reach his potential and could be one player that scouts monitor.
