Queen lead his team on offense as well as defense and finished his senior season with 1,731 all-purpose yards, 19 touchdowns, and 66 total defensive tackles.

The following year, Queen again saw extensive playing time, appearing in all 13 games for LSU and finishing his sophomore season with 40 total tackles.

The LSU prospect has elite quickness and athleticism both when diagnosing run plays as well as when dropping into coverage. Queen\u2019s strong football IQ coupled with his overall athletic mobility often results in him being one of the first defenders to the spot of a play. While he is a tad undersized and demonstrates just average strength when engaging blockers, Queen utilizes his savvy quickness in order to consistently slip off blockers. Additionally, Queen\u2019s quickness and smarts translate when in coverage and he demonstrates strong play recognition skills as well as an impressive feel for pass catcher\u2019s routes. Furthermore, Queen\u2019s versatility is an extremely attractive trait for teams as he can play inside and outside linebacker within base defenses along with staying on the field within sub-packages.<\/span><\/p>\n Main photo:
