NFL lockout: Top UDFA linebackers

With the NFL lockout coming to an end soon, undrafted players from the 2011 NFL Draft will finally be able to sign with teams. This weekend we’ll continue to look at some of the top available players your team may be considering.

Mario Harvey | 5'11, 248 pounds | MLB | Marshall
Forget about his height, Harvey makes plays all over the field and was consistently productive throughout his career.

Mark Herzlich | 6'4, 248 pounds | OLB | Boston College
Herzlich's NFL career will be determined by how well he can workout in training camp. Doing it in at the Scouting Combine or even in college are wholly different. If he can move around like he did pre-surgery, he clearly has the heart to make it in the NFL.

Adrian Moten | 6'2, 228 pounds | OLB | Maryland
If teams are looking for a solid weak-side linebacker in the mold of Wesley Woodyard, Moten could be a good fit. He moves fluidly around the field, but doesn't have a lot of attractive physical skills.

Outside linebackers:

Quentin Davie

| 6’4, 232 pounds | OLB | Northwestern

Thomas Keiser

| 6’3, 261 pounds | OLB | Stanford

Michael Morgan

| 6’3, 226 pounds | OLB | Southern California
Middle linebackers:

Josh Bynes

| 6’1, 240 pounds | MLB | Auburn

Scott Lutrus

| 6’1, 246 pounds | MLB | Connecticut

Cobrani Mixon

| 6’1, 241 pounds | MLB | Kent State

Jeff Tarpinian

| 6’2, 235 pounds | MLB | Iowa

Alex Wujciak

| 6’3, 247 pounds | MLB | Maryland
