Chris Long a 6’4″ 284lbs. senior out of University of Virginia is the son of Hall of Fame Defensive End Howie Long. When Chris Long was going into college his team thought he was just getting scholarships because of his dad. It turns out that Chris Long is the real deal much like his father. Long played 6 games his freshman year and had 6 tackles and 1 sack. In his sophomore year he got into some more games and ended up recording 46 tackles 10 for a loss and and 2 sacks. Last year he upped his numbers with 57 tackles 12 of them coming as a loss and 4 of them sacks even though he was doubled teamed on nearly every play. Long is continuing his success this year and has 50 tackles 13 for a loss of yards and a huge increase in sacks with 10 so far. Along with these stats long also has blocked a kick and forced a fumble. Long’s coach says that he is the best player in college football and I believe him to be one of the best defensive ends. I think the first DE taken will either be Long or Campbell to to the either the Rams or the Jets. Look for Long to continue to make a big impact for Virginia and be the talk of the defensive end of the Draft.
