I think EJ's move is beneficial for him and the team. As I said early in the 2014 season, EJ's physical ability is more suited for safety, especially after watching him get beat in numerous foot races. He has long limbs and decent leaping ability, which will work wonders if he is placed at FS. Additionally, his knowledge of the playbook can, in a perfect world, allow Hootie to line up at SS and play "free" underneath on the flats and curls.

Sidenote: I know this might be a vanity statement, but I'll feel more comfortable with EJ once he sheds the bulky knee brace and sports a compression sleeve or no support apparatus period. I've played college ball and noticed a huge difference in agility from my skilled position teammates who wore the knee brace after injury. Might not mean nothing at all, but just my two cents.
