2nd Round: Chazz Surratt (LB, North Carolina)

There is no question that Chazz Surratt has one of the more unique college careers as it is rare for a player to go from playing quarterback to switching positions to linebacker. He played two seasons at quarterback in 2017 and 2018 before playing linebacker last year.

That shift looked to be the right decision as he had a breakout year with 115 total tackles, 6.5 sacks and one interception.

At 6’3″ and 230 pounds, he looks to be exactly the type of linebacker that Sean McDermott likes for his defense. He is very athletic and can move sideline to sideline and could be an excellent replacement for Matt Milano.

The biggest concern is that Surratt is still trying to learn the position and may not be ready to contribute right from the start.
