Lindarius Shelton may just the most electric player in this year’s draft class. After tallying over 210 tackles across three seasons, 23 of which were for a loss, there is much to be excited about in regards to his play on the field. He brings an explosive attitude and a hard hitting game to his very impressive repertoire. Shelton was a first-team All-SEC Defensive Player in his second and third seasons playing for the LSU Tigers. He stands with a 6’5” frame, 250 lbs. of pure muscle, and his voice is louder than anyone’s on the football field. An exceptional leader while playing Middle Linebacker for the Tigers, he led their defense to new heights, making it the SEC’s top defense in 2016. His teammates have given him much praise over the years, as he has been nothing but a positive impact in the locker room. His coaches had much of the same to say, with LSU’s Head Coach, Ed Orgeron saying this about Shelton: “Lindarius is quite possibly the most polished linebacker we’ve ever had coming out of this system. His size, strength, speed, and ferocious attitude will make him an outstanding player in the NFL”. Shelton being as NFL ready as any team could hope for, and a likely cornerstone for any team’s defense, is willing to make an immediate impact on teams in need of leadership and stability in their linebacker corp.
