Draft analyst Russ Lande was told Notre Dame ILB Manti Te'o "stood out" in team interviews.

Lande writes that Te'o "displayed leadership and football intelligence" in interviews. He also notes that teams are confident in the linebacker's abilities. "Everyone we spoke to told us that they are confident after this week that he can be a solid starting linebacker in the NFL as either an MLB in a 43 defense or an ILB in a 34 scheme."
