Walk-on grinder with special-teams value and old-school toughness
Hernz Laguerre’s profile is built on effort, versatility, and staying power: Syracuse listed him as a defensive lineman after he arrived as a walk-on and even moved from linebacker to defensive end in 2016, a sign the staff valued his adaptability and willingness to do the dirty work. In the 2016 season, he played in eight games mostly on kickoff return coverage and recorded his first career tackle against Florida State, so he was more a role-player than a stat-sheet star. If you need a high-motor, team-first depth piece, he fits the mold.
