I never said he would be just as good as Davis, Werner or Baun to come in and contribute right away. I said IF he could show his explosion and speed and it all depends on how quick he can pick up the position. I know he is a project at this point. But we won't really know anything until he starts showing it in training camp and preseason.
I was not suggesting you did, I was just pointing out the transition and learning curve at this level that he could be (if good enough) a season or two away from contributing as a linebacker on an NFL Roster.
I've seen sights with him still listed as a DE, so I really cant confirm if he's made a switch to linebacker. Do you have a source?
