This former walk-on worked himself into a second-team All-ACC linebacker in his senior year, accumulating 132 tackles (included 23 against N.C. State, 15 solos), seven for loss and 3.0 sacks. Mapp actually was a three-year starter for the Heels, in the middle in 2005-06 and on the weak side in '07. May fit in either spot in the NFL, depending on the team's scheme and expectations for the position.

Positives: Quick closing speed to the ball … Has good instincts and work ethic … Seems to be around the ball quite often … Reads the quarterback's eyes to get to the play … Holds his ground well against tackles and guards on the edge or in the second level … Can run through fullback blocks to reach quarterback on the blitz … Best fit as a 3-4 inside linebacker …

Negatives: Stands too upright in his stance, which does not allow him to change direction quickly … Needs to play stronger at the line of scrimmage, as he does not disengage from blocks on the edge consistently … Could be more explosive when tackling … Lacks fluid hips dropping into and mirroring backs in coverage, much better attacking in a straight line … Does not consistently take correct angles to ballcarriers in the open field.

Three-year starter in football … Earned all-conference and all-region honors as a junior and senior at linebacker … Also played wide receiver and tight end … Named MVP of the state championship game, leading Cummings to the state title as a junior … Made 98 solo tackles as a senior … Played basketball for four years.

Born Durell Desmond Mapp on December 1, 1985 … Son of Alexander and Deborah Mapp … Enjoys playing basketball and working out … Pretended to be Lawrence Taylor and Barry Sanders as a kid … Says the best word to describe him is "real" … Would like to switch places for a day with Dwayne Wade … African-American history and communications major.
