Versatile USC linebacker-safety hybrid with big-play instincts
Cravens was a high-impact, disruptive defender at USC, finishing his college career with 120 tackles, 18.5 tackles for loss, 5 sacks and 7 interceptions, which shows uncommon range for a linebacker-type defender. He stood out as a tone-setter who could blitz, cover space and create turnovers, making him more than a box-score tackler; USC also credited him with 26 career starts and 10 pass deflections. The biggest fit question is durability and role value: his game thrived on versatility and intensity, but he later dealt with concussion-related concerns in his pro career, so the best team match is one that can use him as a movable chess piece rather than a pure downhill LB.[7][10][16]
