A closer look at the 72nd overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
With the 72nd pick in the NFL Draft and the third choice in their 2024 class, Carolina made their first defensive choice of 2024 by selecting Trevin Wallace , a linebacker from the University of Kentucky.
Carolina’s newest defender is an athletic freak. At the NFL Combine, Wallace finished top three among linebackers in the 40-yard dash , the vertical jump , and the broad jump . His stout frame and athleticism make him the prototypical off-ball linebacker in the modern NFL. Big enough to make an impact in the run game, athletic enough to stay on the field on passing downs.
His physical traits are impressive, and the bones of a starting linebacker are clear, but Wallace still has some holes in his game before he can become an every down player. He can be overaggressive chasing down tacklers, allowing cut backs and opening the door for missed tackles. Negative ball skills limit his ceiling as a pass defender.
