Proven Arizona Tackler with Playmaking Range at Linebacker
Derek Earls was a productive Arizona linebacker whose value showed up in more than raw tackles: he posted 44 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, a sack, an interception and four pass breakups in the cited season, signaling a defender who can diagnose quickly, finish in space and affect all three levels of the field.[1] At 6-3 and 240 pounds, he brings an inside-linebacker build with the range and physicality coaches want, making him a strong fit for a team seeking an experienced, assignment-sound second-level defender.[3][4]
