NFL lockout: Top UDFA linebackers

by Dan Kadar on Jul 24, 2011 9:02 PM EDT

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.

I hope not he should be a raven with one of his favorite linebacker Ray lewis

What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?-langton Hughes

yeah I agree with Jimmy and Cary shutting down the other teams WR’s, they’ll make anybody rushing the QB look good - Jaz

pshh

If he can get to pre-cancer form then him and Willis would be deadly.

yeah but I figure the 49ers would rather just keep the patrick willis & takeo spikes combo

since they already a good pair. I think the Ray lewis and Mark Herzlich combo would be more deadly then a Patrick Willis and Mark Herzlich lol

Herzlich is done, there is a reason he didn’t get drafted.

Flacco's first 3 years vs. Brady's, Manning's and Brees' first 3 years

Flacco threw for just 21 fewer passing yards than Brady and tossed four fewer interceptions. Flacco threw for 1,655 more yards than Brees, two more touchdowns and four fewer picks. Manning, who averaged 88 more passes per season, threw for way more yards and touchdowns than Flacco, but also tossed 24 more interceptions.

There has been reports that Herzlich has been recovering back to his old form

I dont believe he is done and I know there are reason why players dont get drafted but that dont take away the fact that he cant be successful in the nfl.

Who ever gets Wujciak is going to get a steal He is a beast, I have no clue why he didn’t get drafted

maybe wujciak is done to because it was a reason he didnt get drafted either lol but overall I think Herzlich will be a great linebacker in this league and I like wujciak to hopefully either one becomes a raven

I was surprised

Bynes went un-drafted. He isn’t the most fluid athlete or a great coverage guy, but he is a plugger and is nasty in run defense. I could see a 3-4 team being pleasantly surprised with him if they give him a shot.
