Josh Bynes was Auburn’s heartbeat at linebacker
In the 2010 season, Josh Bynes was the kind of inside linebacker coaches love: reliable, physical, and everywhere at once, finishing with 73 total tackles and 6 tackles for loss for Auburn’s national title team. He also brought ball production and range to the middle of the defense, with 7 career interceptions at Auburn and 19 career passes defended, which is rare juice for a linebacker. If you want a high-IQ, assignment-sound defender who plays with veteran calm and a nasty edge, Bynes fits the bill.
