NFL scouts think they know him, but they're wrong ...
Dallas Sartz, linebacker, USC
WHAT NFL SCOUTS ARE SAYING
Pro Football Weekly: Versatile performer. Can cover a tight end in the flat. Intelligent and learns quickly. Gets good depth in coverage drops. Flashes as an outside rusher. Has had a litany of injuries over his career. Is neither strong nor explosive. Misses too many tackles. If he can improve his play strength, stay healthy and settle into one position, he has a chance to develop.
PROBABLY GETTING DRAFTED
Mid to late second day.
GUY WHO WATCHED HIM FOR FIVE YEARS SAYS
I think the scouts have a good bead on Sartz's limitations. Injuries and a lack of explosiveness mar what is an otherwise productive and versatile three-year starter at a school stacked with great athletes at the position. Sartz will find his way onto an NFL squad and cobble together a solid career because he's athletic, he knows how to play the coverage game, he can contribute on special teams, he's savvy and he's productive against both the pass and the run.
