Bobby Wagner, OLB, Utah State
6-foot, 241 pounds
Draft projection: Second or third round
Lowdown: Wagner spent his career a bit under the radar. The Aggies went 15-20 the past three years but did go 7-6 and make the Potato Bowl in 2011. Wagner made 446 tackles in his career, most in the Western Athletic Conference since 1999. He projects as a solid starting, weak-side linebacker in the NFL. He missed the NFL Scouting Combine with pneumonia. But he came back and ran a blazing 40-yard dash time in 4.47 seconds at an on-campus workout. At the Senior Bowl, he was voted the North’s most outstanding player. The Buffalo Bills might have to be lucky for him to last until early in the third round.
