<p>Vanderbilt isn’t usually a school that produces 1st round picks, but from time to time they’ve been known to deliver a quality talent. For 2017 that may be linebacker Zach Cunningham. Not only big at 6’3″, his speed and athleticism show up in space. He has no problem tracking down ball carriers and seems comfortable dropping back into coverage. His tackling is a bit shoddy, but the Seahawks have been known to correct such problems with their unique approach.</p>. OLB. Vanderbilt. Zach Cunningham . 26
