Just food for thought...but if hes capable if dropping wait and maintaining it...dont most teams making the switch to 3-4 make their DE's OLB's when possible?
I hear you but he's a natural 3-4 DE. Played it in college and was rated just after JJ Watt in that position. I mean you're taking a player who was a stud DE in the 3-4, then asking him to drop a lot of weight and do a bunch of things he's never done before.
I just don't see the point in it. It's a huge iffy proposition over a sure thing.
