Undrafted rookie number one, Brennan Scarlett

Brennan Scarlett played defensive end at Cal for four years before transferring to Stanford for his final college season.

Vitals
Height: 6-foot-4
Weight: 264 Pounds
Career tackles: 90 (Cal/Stanford)
Career sacks: 11 (Cal/Stanford)

During his last year in school, the 264 pounder showed some upside as he recorded 36 tackles and 6.5 sacks. It’s never easy for an undrafted rookie to make it to the roster, but Scarlett has some upside to work with.

2016 season prediction: 15 tackles, 2 sacks

Undrafted rookie number two, Eric Lee

Eric Lee has decent size, but didn’t offer a ton while at USF outside of being a decent tackler.

Vitals
Height: 6-foot-3
Weight: 258 Pounds
Career tackles: 90 (USF)
Career sacks: (4.5)
Career INTs: 1

It would be a long shot to make the team, especially considering he was already waived once by Houston and then brought back a few days later.
