I dont think he will either, I mean he was only a partial starter 2-years ago for a few games until Nate Harris won his job back and he did play well last year but considering his lack of size for a LB maybe he's hoping to wow the scouts at the combine by throwing a measly 225 lbs around 40 times on the bench press test.

A leader also in the weightroom, he broke Robert McCune's bench press record with an astonishing 490 lbs.
Found this assessment which doesnt sound too rosey except this guy actually sees Myles being drafted late.

A look at the 2007 junior class as players decide whether to enter the 2008 NFL draft.

Louisville linebacker Lamar Myles is a good example of a player who's better suited for college than the NFL. Myles is a good athlete who flies all over the field, and he led the team in tackles in 2007, his junior season.

But Myles, who said today that he's declaring for the 2008 NFL draft, is listed at 6-foot-1 and 220 pounds, and that's just not what NFL teams are looking for in a linebacker. Unless he's planning on gaining 20 pounds without losing any speed in the next six weeks, NFL scouts might ask him to work out with the safeties at the Indianapolis combine.

If Myles had stayed at Louisville for his senior season, he could have bulked up a bit to prove himself as a linebacker, or get more experience in pass coverage to demonstrate what he could do as a safety. As it is, I see Myles as a late-round pick.
