Yeah. People roll their eyes at that but a 6'7'' dude is taking a damn long stride every time he moves and it takes that much longer for that stride to end. That's great if he's trying to cover ground but not if he has to change direction.
Which he'd have to do plenty of as a standup OLB.
Guy just looks born to play a 1-gap 5-tech to me. Alternatively you could put his hand on the ground in the Nickel sets (not unlike I'm suggesting with Ealy in the other thread). But I think he's far more of a down lineman than he is a linebacker.
