Devin Lloyd is a versatile, talented pass rusher than can play multiple linebacker positions. He filled up the stat sheet in 2021, rocketing him to NFL.com’s #1 prospect and ESPN’s 2nd best inside linebacker. At times, he can play too quickly and become undisciplined, but he has the skills that are simply too hard to pass up for linebacker-needy teams. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.66 seconds, had a vertical jump of 35, did 25 reps in the bench press, and posted a broad jump of 126.
NFL.com Draft Grade: 6.38
NFL.com Overview: “Highly productive and highly physical, Lloyd could create interesting discussions in draft rooms as teams work through his process versus production. Lloyd can be a little inconsistent with early diagnosis and fit recognition and unorthodox in how he flows to the football. With that said, he has a stat sheet full of production in every major category, including 43 tackles for loss over the last three seasons…Lloyd will make plenty of plays and should become a good starter as an inside or strong-side linebacker, but inconsistent process could limit his consistency.”
