Next up in Just Blog Baby’s coverage of the 2016 NFL Draft is a breakdown of USC linebacker/safety Su’a Cravens.

A fan favorite potential pick, will USC hybrid LB/S be selected by the Oakland Raiders in the 2016 NFL Draft?

Let’s jump into some film.

Cravens takes on a block three separate times while tracking the ball carrier towards the sideline, and ends up making the tackle. Nice play.

Cravens’ lack of size and strength is concerning, especially if he plans on playing LB at the next level. He lowers his shoulder into the TE and still gets knocked off balance.

Cravens is spying the QB on this play, and does an excellent job in pursuit and with the open field tackle.

Missed tackle leads to a touchdown for Notre Dame.

Cravens uses a little juke move to beat the lineman inside, and then finishes with a sack.
