PLUS THREE

UCLA has become a rival to Penn State's "Linebacker U" label. Here's why:

• Anthony Barr, 6-5 and 255 pounds, No. 9 pick in 2014 draft for Vikings: 138 tackles, 7½ sacks, five forced fumbles and an interception in 26 starts.

• Eric Kendricks, 6 feet and 235, No. 45 pick in 2015 draft for Vikings: 92 tackles, four sacks, in 14 games (11 starts).

• Myles Jack, 6-1 and 225, projected top-five pick in 2016 draft: Jack is being called a "faster Ray Lewis" and will be long gone before Vikings can put together a UCLA trio at linebacker.
