Falcons' mock draft
Brian Cushing, USC, Linebacker, 6-2, 243. The Skinny: Lifted 225 pounds 30 times at the combine. He's strong kid and plays with reckless abandon. His position coach was former NFL linebacker Ken Norton Jr. "I think of myself as one of the top linebackers, regardless of the defensive scheme," Cushing said. Text by D.
