5. Harold Landry | Defensive Line | Boston College

Harold Landry held a share of the NCAA’s sack leader title this season with Florida State’s Demarcus Walker with a total of 15 sacks. He is a huge reason why Boston College finished with one of the best defenses in the conference and helped the Eagles to be bowl-eligible.

As Landry dominated the Eagles’ 2016 schedule of opponents, there were only three different teams that he didn’t record a sack against. While that is simply incredible, you may be surprised to know that one of those teams was the Louisville Cardinals.

Being completely serious this time, great job Louisville offensive line.

Like most of the players on this list, Landry is currently an upperclassmen. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear his name called in the NFL Draft this coming April.

One NFL Front Office is going to make a very wise decision of drafting Boston College’s Harold Landry in 2017.
