The younger Berry brother went undrafted this past weekend. He is an undersized outside linebacker, coming in at 5-foot-11 and 206 pounds. He played at Tennessee the past three seasons, appearing in 21 games while tallying 68 tackles, 5.5 for a loss, 1.5 sacks, one interception and one fumble recovery.
His twin brother, Evan, has signed with the Cleveland Browns as an undrafted free agent.
A three-star safety coming out of Creekside High School (GA), Berry could potentially make the move back to safety after playing linebacker for the Vols the past three years. It’s a pretty classy move by the organization to give one of its top stars’ brothers a shot at making it in the NFL.
The elder Berry brother will be attempting another big comeback this season after missing almost the entire 2017 campaign with a ruptured Achilles tendon.
