Established in 2002, the NFL Draft Bible is the most trusted independent scouting service in the world and is used by all 32 NFL teams. Below is our 3-4 outside linebacker rankings for the 2021 NFL Draft Class.

As with any player evaluation, where a player projects can be subjective based on the scout, scheme, or team, etc. We tried to place the prospects with the best chance to succeed at the next level as stand-up edge rushers in this category.

The Class of 2021 is a bit lean when it comes to depth but there are some excellent candidates who could emerge as pass-rush specialists in the NFL, including athletic freak Azeez Ojulari (Georgia), former Temple transfer Quincy Roche (Miami), quick-footed Joseph Ossai (Texas) and the under-rated Ronnie Perkins (Oklahoma). Little-known D2 prospect Alani Pututau out of Adams Sate is one player who could draw appeal as a late round pick or priority free agent.
