A former quarterback for North Carolina, Surratt moved to linebacker when Sam Howell came to campus. He was a two-time All-ACC defender and had an ideal athletic profile.
The issue with Surratt is that he wasn’t anywhere close to strong enough to play the position with any kind of success. Surratt can’t shed a block to save his life and it hindered any kind of success he would have.
Surratt is the third 2021 draft pick the Vikings have moved on from today, as both Janarius Robinson and Kellen Mond.
