Micah Kiser was a fifth round pick for the Los Angeles Rams out of the University of Virginia in 2018. A year later, he’s penciled in as a starting inside linebacker after the team cut ties with Mark Barron. Kiser never made a start last season, but did record four tackles in the regular season and two in the postseason. His senior year at Virginia, Kiser notched 143 tackles, 9.5 for a loss, four passes defended, two fumble recoveries and five sacks.
