No. 2: Troy Dye, LB, Oregon

One of few linebackers to do so, Troy Dye was a starter from day one as a true freshman when entering college to play at Oregon. In his senior year at Oregon, Dye had 84 total tackles to go along with 2.5 sacks and two interceptions.

Dye sits at 6-foot-3 and 231 pounds. He led Oregon in tackles all four years he was there as a Duck, as well as earned second-team all-conference. Dye is also known for his toughness and his want to win, as he played through a broken thumb in a game against one of Oregon’s top rivals in Washington. He also played through a partially torn meniscus in four games of the season.

Although Dye did not partake in any of the drills that the combine had to offer to try to impress scouts even further, he will be sure to put up as solid numbers as possible when it comes time for pro day.

“I’ll do all my stuff at the pro day just to be 100-percent full go and put up the numbers that I know I can put up.”

If Dye can stay healthy and impress some scouts at his pro day, look for him to be a mid-round selection to a team much in need of linebacker help.
