Dorian Mausi brings Auburn-grown toughness, but his NFL impact has been more special-teams grit than linebacker flash
In the 2025 season, Dorian Mausi’s game translated best as a high-effort, physical depth piece: he appeared in all 17 games for Tennessee, played 341 special-teams snaps, and finished with nine tackles, while his Auburn finale had been a stronger showcase with a team-leading 81 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks. He stands out for speed-to-contact, motor, and reliability, but an undisclosed injury and a recent injured-reserve designation make health the key checkmark. If a team wants a rugged, scheme-flexible linebacker who can attack downhill and contribute immediately on special teams, he’s interesting; if it wants a headline-making coverage star, this isn’t that guy.
