Anthony Barr
Anthony Barr is probably one of the most exciting linebackers that UCLA football has ever had in the history of there great program. When you think right off the top of your head about UCLA you immediately think about the great offense that they have. You really do not think too much about defense with UCLA. However over the last couple of years UCLA's defense has been one of the most improved defenses in all of college football. The key to the rise of the UCLA defense has been having very quick and versatile linebackers who can do just about everything, from stopping the run to defending the pass. Barr has a lot of quickness and flat out has the extreme ability to get to the quarterback at will. But that is not all that he can do, Barr also has the ability to drop back into coverage and make plays in the passing game as well. Because of Barr's ability to be very versatile it allows him to be able to stay on the field for long stretches of time, which only benefits the defense even more. Although it is really hard for a defensive player to ever win the Heisman trophy, if Barr continues to grow into the all around linebacker that he is capable of, he could very well find himself fighting for the Heisman Trophy.
