Undrafted free agent Nadame Tucker has made a strong impression, recently contributing with a quarterback hit in the team's 27-7 preseason win over the Houston Texans. Tucker led Division I in sacks at Western Michigan with 14.5 last season, but faces stiff competition in a deep linebacker group featuring Khalil Mack and Tuli Tuipulotu. Tucker remains focused on improving and proving he belongs on the team.
