Keith Pough: 2013 NFL Draft Scouting Report for the Howard OLB

WASHINGTON, D.C.  --  Keith Pough is an underrated linebacker from Howard University in the MEAC. He's one of the more unique prospects in this year's draft because he could have easily played in the FBS but chose instead to go to the FCS. He's the kind of prospect almost any coach in the NFL would love to have.

Let's explore how Keith projects to the NFL:

Overall Strengths
+ Athletically gifted player on film
+ Excellent, reliable tackler
+ Tremendous pass rusher

Overall Weaknesses
- Coverage instincts aren't great
- Will wash out in the run game from bigger blockers
- Competition questions from playing at a smaller school

Draft Projection
He should be taken anywhere from the middle of Round 3 to the end of Round 6.
