Bowen is 6'1" and 222. Not that I think he's a starter-quality LB.
I think Horton could to it if absolutely necessary, but I hope it doesn't come to that. I'd prefer to have someone comfortable with playing LB at the spot.
He would have to beef up, I do agree about that, but there are plenty of LBs around that size. Just spot-checking a few other teams' rosters, the Cards have a few LBs in the 230 range...almost the Falcons entire LB crew is 220/230 range, Ravens have a LB at 225, Bills have a lot in the 220-230 range, even one at 219.
We seem to have much larger LBs than most teams weight-wise, which is surprising with short LBs like Fletcher and Blades.
Horton has a lot of talent, I think he could do it.
