Biography:
Signed as an undrafted rookie following the 2007 NFL Draft, Herron is a candidate for the practice squad behind a some decent competition for the primary backup players.

Predraft Analysis:

Three-year starter who posted 79/7/2 as a senior, intercepting one pass and breaking up two more. Sophomore totals included a career-high 95 tackles.

Pos: Tough, run-defending two-down linebacker. Flows to the action, wedges his way upfield and quickly filling gaps in run defense. Explosive at the point and quickly closes to the action.

Neg: Does not play with great balance and is slow adjusting off the initial block. Not decisive in coverage, chases opponents down the field and possesses marginal ball skills.
