At 6'2" and 235 lbs., some might call Anthony Felder a little small for a linebacker at the NFL level. That, coupled with his tough luck this offseason, may have been enough for teams to shy away from him in the 2009 NFL Draft. Those teams may come to find that they made a very big mistake. As a senior at Cal, Felder totaled a team-high 93 tackles (37 solo), 5.5 tackles-for-loss, and half a sack for the 26th ranked defense in the country. All the while playing in a 3-4 scheme that he had picked up for the first time in his college career.
Coming into the 2008 season, he, along with Zack Follett, and Worrell Williams were the reason that many called Cal's linebacking corps second only to USC. I talked with Felder, prior to his trek to the San Diego Chargers' rookie mini-camp on Thursday, and there wasn't a hint of remorse or uncertainty. In fact, he's ready to show the Chargers just how fortunate they are to get him without having to use a draft pick
