He is on some draft boards as an OLB and on others as a DE. He is an excellent overall athlete and is primarily used as a pass rusher on the college level and that may wind up being his role on the NFL. If he stays at OLB, he may be the biggest guy at that position in several years, although some teams have voiced interest in bringing him down into the 250 lb range. He is another guy that may fit as a 34 OLB and primarily as a pass rush specialist. He has good quickness and movement, but very little experience in pass coverage and he is a somewhat developmental type prospect that will need a lot of work to refine his skills. He is a very interesting guy that will require a lot of work and research by NFL teams leading up to the draft.
