Speedy LBs

I’ve written about the Gophers secondary and that position has received a lot of attention. To me, the secondary is the team’s strongest position group.

But I also came away from the opener particularly impressed with their top two linebackers, Damien Wilson and De’Vondre Campbell. Those two are fast and really run to the ball.

“Damien and De'Vondre can really run,” Jerry Kill said. “They're long. Damien was measured by the NFL scouts, measured by how long his arms are and they are longer than Ra’Shede’s arms. When you have length, you can keep people from blocking you and you tackle better.”
