  • Washington senior LB Azeem Victor helped lead the Huskies’ defense to a dominant performance against the run in 2016, posting the No. 2 ranked run defense grade among returning Pac-12 linebackers.
  • The 6-foot-3, 223-pounder also proved volatile as a pass-rusher, as he ranked No. 3 among draft-eligible Pac-12 linebackers in pass-rush productivity (18.8).
  • To improve his game, Victor must work to correct his tackling technique in the open field. He missed 11-of-74 tackle attempts to finish ranked No. 119 among all draft-eligible linebackers in tackling efficiency (6.73) last season.
