NFL Media analyst Lance Zierlein has been taking a position-by-position look at the top players to watch in college football over the last few days, and continued today with interior defensive linemen.
Zierlein isn’t necessarily previewing the 2017 NFL Draft, as he says in the column, but rather takes a good look at interior linemen that are generating interest from scouts and are projected to have big seasons for their teams.
Here are his 10 interior linemen to watch in 2016, with SEC representatives in bold:
1. Jonathan Allen, Alabama
2. Malik McDowell, Michigan State
3. Taco Charlton, Michigan
4. Carlos Watkins, Clemson
5. Da’Shawn Hand, Alabama
6. Chris Wormley, Michigan
7. Charles Walker, Oklahoma
8. Jaleel Johnson, Iowa
9. Davon Godchaux, LSU
10. Isaac Rochell, Notre Dame
