Jacksonville Jaguars 2021 free agency: 4 enticing options at LB
31. . . . Kyler Fackrell. 4. player
The Jacksonville Jaguars could target these rising linebackers.
The 3-7 New York Giants are a young football team and they were expected to go through growing pains in head coach Joe Judge’s first year at the helm. Although the ‘G-Men’ have had a hard time getting things going on offense, their defense has performed well and ranks 12th in points allowed.
One of the reasons for their defensive success is Kyler Fackrell. The former Green Bay Packers linebacker signed a one-year $4.6 million deal this offseason and is set to become a free agent again in 2021. This year, he’s recorded 29 total tackles, three sacks, three pass deflections, and two forced fumbles.
Nicholas Morrow. 3. player. 28. . .
Earlier this year, the Las Vegas Raiders made a free agency splash and signed Nick Kwiatkoski and Cory Littleton to fix the linebacker woes that have surrendered the team for years. While ‘Sky’ has solidified the middle linebacker spot, Littleton has struggled. In his place, Nicholas Morrow has become a key cog in the team’s linebacker corps.
The Greenville standout hadn’t had much of an impact in his first three seasons with the ‘Silver and Black’. Nevertheless, he’s taken a step forward in his development and has become a solid contributor for the Raiders in 2020. This year, he’s registered 44 total tackles, five passes defensed, one forced fumble, and one interception.
