He led the team in tackles with 71 and added 11.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery.

He was a second-team all-Big 10 selection in 2019.<\/p>\n<h3>Strengths<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>a relentless pass-rusher<\/li>\n<li>very strong tackler with many huge hits on his resume<\/li>\n<li>great motor; he never stops moving<\/li>\n<li>great athlete who never gets out-hustled<\/li>\n<li>doesn&#8217;t give up on plays; makes a lot of downfield tackles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Weaknesses<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Wasn&#8217;t a starter for much of his career, lack of experience<\/li>\n<li>needs to improve anticipation, makes plays off of athleticism<\/li>\n<li>not known as an outstanding cover linebacker<\/li>\n<li>needs to add size to play in NFL<\/li>\n<li>overruns tackles and misses tackles at times in the open field<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>NFL Comparison<\/strong>:<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/W\/WarnFr00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fred Warner <\/a><\/strong>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/49ers\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">San Francisco 49ers<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Teams With Need at Position:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/bears\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chicago Bears<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/bengals\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cincinnati Bengals<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/browns\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cleveland Browns<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/cardinals\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arizona Cardinals<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/dolphins\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Miami Dolphins<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/cowboys\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dallas Cowboys<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/eagles\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Philadelphia Eagles<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/giants\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New York Giants<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/rams\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Los Angeles Rams<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/ravens\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Baltimore Ravens<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/saints\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New Orleans Saints<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Projection<\/strong>: sixth or seventh round<\/p>\n<h3>Bottom Line<\/h3>\n<p>Chris Orr showed up in a big way in 2019 and recorded 11.5 sacks from the inside linebacker spot. He also had eight quarterback hurries and five passes defended. He&#8217;s a very natural athlete and has the ability to lower the boom on ball-carriers. He&#8217;s a bit undersized for the middle linebacker spot in the NFL but has a frame that could add some additional weight. He has an incredible motor and will not be out-hustled. He could be a steal in the final two rounds of the draft.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"KrksZtvPQy9wxNLSSj35RQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1171794264\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'KrksZtvPQy9wxNLSSj35RQ',sig:'QbVQMVls1HuHKJR4U55xfFZnH909zrCs_-hx9VNMn34=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1171794264',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chris Orr was been a solid contributor to the Wisconsin defense since arriving as a Freshman in 2015.
