I remember watching Nebraska football the past couple of years and I always found myself drawn to the guy in jersey No. 4 playing linebacker for the Cornhuskers, a tackling machine who played with great speed.

His name is Lavonte David. Get to know him. He will also be an NFL tackling machine. Think Derrick Brooks. Yes, that's high praise, considering Brooks is a lock for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

But David has the same kind of ability Brooks had. He is undersized, but fast and tackles well and should make a smooth transition to playing weak-side linebacker on the next level.
