Player Profile: Khairi Fortt

Here is a guy you have never heard of! Again. Here is a guy that is a Linebacker U product. Here is a guy who is also a California Bears product. Ohh, one of those guys. I always love those stories. A guy didn't catch on for some reason for whatever reason and goes to another team and somehow has a heroic comeback or now people see him in good light or whatever reason. Not sure but it sounds a lot like Jerry. Ohh. A lot of time the best guys don't get selected for reasons beyond their control and this guy is either peep quiet because everyone loves him or they don't care about him. This guy is a sure-fire day three pick. He could go undrafted. And here is a NFL player. Come on, people. What are you watching?

Weight: 17.7 stone

Mini Chalk: Teams around the NFL looking for a 3-4 ILB this is your perfect guy. He looks like a LaMarr Woodley build, but pre-fat camp Woodley. Like lean, cut, well-built. He is a downhill linebacker. He is pretty good at the pop and shed, a key for 3-4 ILBs, and can rush the passer pretty well for ILBs. He has long arms that help him engage the offensive linemen and he has the strength to get off of him. His best asset might be his athleticism, very good tools there. He is very strong, can jump, pretty explosive, all-around player. He is the perfect "Buck" LB in the 3-4 and when he needs to cover in situational football he isn't a liability there, just average in that department.
