Could Cam Jordan drop weight and play OLB?

Jordan is our version of Antonio Smith (Texans) and might be even better against the run in a 3-4 because of his jolt and hand use at the line to knock tackles and guards back.

He has straight line speed and is quicker than people give him credit for but he in no way is as smooth in coverage as a guy like Devin Taylor and wouldn't be able to change directions well enough either, like an Ahmad Brooks. Devin Taylor has great feet for a guy his size changing directions.

When Haslett first drafted Will Smith, he had designs on switching to a 4-3 and even lined him up at 3-4 outside linebacker in our first preseason game against the jets, same thing happened. He couldn't break down well enough in space so he scrapped the idea.


Great point...but how can u saw he might have a problem changing directions when his 3-cone is better than aldons smiths while 20lbs heavier. I dont think Will Smith was as athletic as cam coming out.

Edit will was pretty beastly
