Round Seven – 223rd Overall
Ben Boulware, LB, Clemson (6-feet, 238 pounds)
Again, late round picks – especially seventh rounders – are guys that will likely start their careers on special teams and have to work their way up from there.
Ben Boulware has that written all over him.
Clemson’s team captain this past season, Boulware made first-team All-ACC in his final two college seasons. In that time he registered 198 total tackles, 19.5 stops for a loss, two interceptions and four sacks.
He is a natural leader that is no stranger to making his bones on special teams. He did it for the first two years at Clemson before carving out a role in defense.
Boulware is tough, competitive and makes up for what he lacks in physical tools with football smarts and work ethic.
Larry Izzo was a three-time Pro Bowl selection and three-time All-Pro selection as primarily a special team’s player. Just saying.
