I think they will be good.
Curious about Jones real weight. They have him at 225 which has been the same for a couple of years. Figured over that time he would have added weight.

It's hard to know without a 40 time whether their weight took away some of their speed.
Mikel was listed at 215 for the past two years. In the updated roster list he's 225. He'll need 10 more in the NFL, IMO.
>The average prototypical size of the best NFL LB's in 2021-22 in the list below is 6’ 1”, 235, 4.59, 40.<
Ray Lewis played at 6’1”, WT, 235, 4.59 40, Lawrence Taylor 6' 3" 240 4.6 which is very fast for linebacker but allows them to drop back into pass coverage because of their speed.
Here is a list of the top ten LB's in the NFL this past season:
Bobby Wagner – Seahawks 6’ 241, 4.46
Fred Warner - 49ers 6’ 3” 236, 4.64
Eric Hendricks – Vikings 6’ 0”, 232, 4.61
Lavonte David - Bucs 6’ 1”, 233, 4.65
Demario Davis – Saints 6’ 2” 248, 4.49
Darius Leonard – Colts 6’ 2” 234, 4.7
Deion Jones – Falcons 6’ 1” 227, 4.59
Roquan Smith – Bears 6’ 1” 225, 4.51
Donta Hightower – Pats 6’ 3”, 260, 4.62
Alex Johnson – Den 6’ 0”, 223, 4.67

I wouldn’t worry about our LB’s.
They are bad bad bad men

One position we have some backup talent at is LB. Especially looking forward to seeing Roon and Sparrow getting action in the spring game. Roon is 6'3 225.

Not sure what u are basing that on. Hope u are right. I haven’t seen room or sparrow on the field
Roon suffered a preseason injury that shelved him for most of the season. Very promising prospect.

I thought Sparrow got injured early in the season (maybe preseason), too...but I could be wrong.
