Which USC linebacker would you like the most and why?

Maualuga would be the USC linebacker that I would pick. His explosiveness, effort, and football IQ would be the main reasons. The only thing I would question in comparison to the other 2 would be his workout habits - does he work in the weight room because I think this plays a part to being a good linebacker.

Cushing looked good to me early on, but I am suspicious that this guy is a serious steriod user. No definitive proof, but there isn't any reports anywhere explaining his unbelievable mass growth (44%) from his college freshman year. I think I'd be fine with him, if there would be some reasonable explanation for this.

Matthews's strength as a prospect is his potential. I wouldn't draft a guy in the first round based on potential without the production to back it up; that wouldn't make any sense IMO.
