They had him lose weight to play OLB but I wouldn't be shocked if they ultimately decide to have him gain weight and move to DE next year. Seems like a better fit to me. But first let's see what he's got in the preseason games.

i was told basically to shut up when i brought this up during the draft, too slow and big to play olb.

It too way way way too early to make a judgement on the transition, but he looks more like a DE to me. Great leverage player...but playing in space is such a big change.

Scot likes trench guys with long arms.
