Miami LB Darryl Sharpton — We were disappointed when Sharpton measured just 5-foot-11¾ and 229 pounds, but he has been one of the more complete linebackers in Mobile this week, and Day 3 was a good indication of how versatile he can be. He’s not great when filling gaps and taking on lead blockers but Sharpton has done a nice job this week of slipping blocks and not taking himself out of position when doing so, and today he sifted through traffic well on his way to the ball. On Day 3 he was typically the first linebacker to read play-action and because of those instincts he plays a step quicker than his straight-line speed would indicate.

And after watching the pass rush we think he has a chance to be a sneaky-good pass-rusher thanks to his quick first step and quick hands. Sharpton did a good job with power-to-speed moves today, making things happen by jolting blockers and then swimming or ripping by them. We thought coming in that Sharpton was a midround guy who might level off as a versatile backup but based on what we’ve seen this week there might be more to him.
