SEC tackling machine with proven playmaking range
Wesley Woodyard was a high-volume, instinctive linebacker at Kentucky, finishing his Wildcats career with nearly 400 tackles and leading the SEC with 139 tackles in his senior season. He stands out for his sideline-to-sideline range, consistency, and ability to create impact plays beyond the box score; in the pros, he also showed he could add sacks, forced fumbles, and interceptions. For a team, that profile fits a tone-setting, durable, high-motor defender who can anchor the middle and elevate the defense’s intensity.[14][8][9]
