Brad Fortney

Linebacker
Sophomore
6-0, 232, Antioch, Ill.

The only question mark on Brad is his health…he had elbow surgery, and then he had shoulder surgery in the off-season…it’ll probably take him right through training camp to see if he can get his strength back…if he can, he’ll be a great linebacker in this league.
