pretty light to play LB in the 3-4 ... ST guy at best probably but more than likely a camp body

3 career sacks as a DE in 31 games ( 25 starts ) does not sound like the quick twitch athlete you would want at OLB even in his substantially larger frame than first anticipated

He was 6'1.3 255 at the Miami workout in 2014...ran a 4.58 forty and had 34 reps on the bench. Looks like he has some serious guns for biceps.

Shoes.

Yes, his lack of sacks in 31 games is alarming. His Pro Day result for the vertical was 29". That's pretty low. He has also suffered from 2 ACL injuries. I agree, a camp body.
