Linebackers were the second position group to undergo testing on Monday, Feb. 28, at the NFL Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Leading the pack was projected top-five pick Von Miller [pictured above] of Texas A&M, whose draft stock shot up after his impressive showing in both the testing and linebacker position drills. Fellow outside LBs Akeem Ayers [UCLA] and Justin Houston [Georgia] also performed well enough to justify their first-round prospects.
