I see him as a lighter (he only weighs around 245) version of Tamba Hali. I'd be interested to see how long his arms measure out to be, that'll be a pretty significant factor for me personally; I tend to mark DL/3-4 OLB prospects down if their arms are less than 34" in length.

Yeah, this is why I was thinking of him as a potential ILB in our 3-4. I know some will regard this as "wasting his best skills" or "square peg/round hole"... but he looks like he could easily adjust into a 3-4 ILB role that can blitz.. cover zones well.. and even add value as an OLB blitzer when needed.
Just a wild thought though.. I haven't watched all that much of him.. just enough to think about that.
