Athletic TCU linebacker with proven pass-rush upside and playmaking range
Kris Gardner’s appeal is his **athletic, disruptive linebacker profile**: in his most productive recent season cited by reporting, he led TCU with **11 tackles for loss and 4 sacks**, suggesting he can create negative plays rather than just clean them up.[3] At about **6-1, 228 pounds**, he has the size-profile of a modern linebacker who can flow, pressure, and fit multiple roles.[2] If you need a defender with range, edge-chase ability, and upside as a pressure piece, he’s a strong fit; the main question is whether his game translates consistently beyond splash plays.[3]
