Eagles Add a Star LB

Posted: April 29th, 2022 | Author: Tommy Lawlor 

Nakobe Dean had a great season for Georgia, helping them to win the national championship. He was expected to be drafted in the first or second round. Dean slid down the proverbial draft board and the Eagles generously ended his slide.

Love it.

Dean is a high character player and team leader. He was the heart and soul of Georgia’s amazing defense. He is an outstanding student and a guy that people just rave about it.

As a player, Dean is a stud LB. He has terrific instincts and outstanding range. He is a physical hitter and tackler. He has solid cover skills. Dean is only 5-11, 229 and that’s not ideal size. He’s not an elite athlete. He is just a damn good football player who showed up every week and made a ton of key plays.

Why the slide?

Teams were concerned with some injury issues, most notably a pec injury. Dean elected not to have surgery, preferring to try physical therapy. Apparently that decision bothered some teams. There is a question about whether Dean will be healthy for the upcoming season or will need to have the surgery that he put off.

There is risk. But I’m fine with that because of the potential upside. Dean could play MLB or WLB for the Eagles. He could become a key leader for the defense. If he can stay healthy, Dean can be the best LB the Eagles have had in a while.
