7. Jared Norris (Utah Utes)

6 feet 1 inch, 239 pounds
GRADE: 5.36
40 yard dash: 4.80 seconds
Bench press: 19 reps
Vertical jump: 29.5 inches
Broad jump: 114.0 inches
20 yard shuttle: 4.52 seconds
Projected round: 4-6

WalterFootball.com ranked him 15th among inside linebackers.

From NFL.com: “…he showed stoutness between the tackles and a burst to the ball…team leader… lateral quickness…reactive… instinctive…Very average chase speed. Straight line attacker who struggles to gather and make sudden change of direction in space as a tackler… doesn’t have the technique or speed to be a high­-end playmaker. Norris looks the part of a backup WILL inside linebacker in a 3­-4.”
