I was listening to Nagy talk with McElroy and Cubelic and he said one of the hardest things for the NFL to find now is LBers...

that can play off ball. Said it's really hard to find any that can stay on the field all three downs any more. This latest class was really weak and next year's class projects to maybe be the weakest. But if that's so, you would think LBers would make more money if they could cover on passing downs. Roquan can and is paid the most for LBers. He also said safeties who are good at playing the run and in coverage are also becoming harder to find.

I would think this is one reason why a TE like Bowers is so valuable.

But this pay scale doesn't seem to reflect the supply and demand.




He also said the LSU fanbase needs to be patient and let Perkins develop as a LBer because he can't play edge in the NFL at his size. He said last year he told him he weighed 212 and this year he said he weighs 225. But Nagy said there isn't one edge rusher in the league right now that makes an impact at that weight.
