Herring recorded 226 career tackles (11 for loss) as a Commodore and was one of the team's leaders on and off the field. He never missed a game at Vanderbilt, breaking into the team's defensive rotation as a true freshman and developing into a starter one season later. He's a versatile defender who can be helpful against both the pass and the run.

He'll join fellow undrafted teammates Steven Scheu (Patriots), Caleb Azubike (Cowboys), Jake Bernstein (Chiefs), and Andrew Williamson (Colts) at NFL training camps this summer.
