What makes it more eye opening is that Doss played behind a linebacking core that included Wilhelm, Reynolds and Grant and still accumulated that many tackles. Guess that goes to show you why he was a three time All American.
I also took notice that we may have only had 2 LB's taken in the second round but I think they both did all right didn't they? And none of this takes into account either someone like Vrabel who was a DE at tOSU but converted to a LB in the NFL. No disrespect to PSU, they have a great tradition but as far as current excellence at the position they just can't hold up. But I guess we can let them keep their title for now, we already have Defensive Back U locked up anyway.
