Here is a report from PFF
I think it is a great breakdown. I think one of the LBs to come out of college who Brothers can kind of simulate is Brandon Spikes (from Florida). Spikes was a little bigger though (2" taller, 10 lbs) and had more accolades. BUT Spikes was known to be a very productive tackler, but did not have elite speed (similar to Brothers).
Spikes was near the last pick in the 2nd round by the NE Patriots. If you recall, Urban Meyer and Bill Belichek were like best buddies back then. By most accounts, Spikes was drafted too early.
I expect Brothers will probably end up around the 4th or 5th round, mostly because of his size. The article basically does state that he is one of the top LBs against the run, but the NFL is more of a Pass League now.
