Arden Key is a top player in this years class, he’s an explosive athlete who wreaks havoc in opposing backfields. 14.5 tackles for loss and 12 sacks as a sophomore Key can take over a game from the edge. With an elite ability to bend the corner with speed and explosiveness, Key will be a handful for offensive tackles in 2017.
Bradley Chubb can play with his hand in the dirt or as a stand up LB. He can get after the passer with a relentless motor, he also displayed the ability to drop in coverage. He’s a discipline run defender, adding to his pass rush repertoire could benefit him at the next level.
Sam Hubbard isn’t as athletic or flashy as other rushers on this list, but he uses his technique and football IQ to his advantage. Strong at the point of attack Hubbard is at his best shooting his hands to create leverage and shredding blockers. A smart run defender and underrated pass rusher, Hubbard looks to raise his draft stock in 2017.
