  Bilal's the kind of athlete who can catch an NFL team's eye in the final month and a half of the draft process, force them to go back and look at the film again to see if there's something the all-star showcases and the Combine missed. "Asmar has the physical gifts of an NFL linebacker. He's got the height, weight, speed, explosive power and strength," Notre Dame defensive coordinator Clark Lea said. "His best football's ahead of him, for sure." Bilal was something of a late bloomer in college. Always a freak athlete, Bilal initially started out at the rover position, Notre Dame's linebacker-safety hybrid, and didn't get to take over at his natural position until Drue Tranquill was snapped up by the Chargers in the fourth round of last year's draft.

Fully unleashed at the Buck linebacker position last fall, Bilal made 79 tackles and 10 tackles for loss, improving with every snap. "Any time you move positions, like he did last spring, there's a learning curve involved in that, and I think what we saw was after a couple of games, he really settled in and was able to be really productive and instinctive and let his physical traits shine through," Lea said. Bilal, Lea believes, is the perfect linebacker for the modern game, a rangy player who can run alleys, be an effective blitzer and cover like a safety, owing to his past as a rover, often lined up in man-to-man coverage on tight ends and slot receivers. - Indianapolis Star/News
