I think with his skill set if he can stay at 290-310 range he would be a badass defensive end. But if he lost the weight he would make a nice linebacker, the guy has the skills to make it at the next level.
How does he compare to Willis at the same stage?

I'm having trouble seeing where you're coming from with this linebacker talk
Posted on 1/27/14 at 11:38 am to OBReb6
He played LB a few times last year

He also played RB a few times. That does not mean he is changing sides of the ball.

I don't recall him ever taking a snap at LB.

I think he might have had some snaps standing up at the line like a rushing LB.

He never played LB

RN looks like he needs to add lbs
He's 6'5 290. He doesn't need to put on too much more, if any.

Are you sure?
Every site I've visited has said he played every position on DL along with LB in certain situations.

Where did you get that information? The toilet store?

His brother Denzel plays linebacker for us but he doesn't.

Look at this picture posted 5 hours ago and tell me that he looks 290 right now...
Can't post pic for some reason. It's the one of him and Cody Prewitt.

He looks like he might be 280. Maybe less

He does look shockingly slim in that pic. But Even at 295 to start the year he didn't look THAT big bc his body fat is so low.
Re: him at lb, I'm almost 100% positive he never took a snap there.

RN looked 100X better when he dropped weight after his hamstring injury. He was able to get more pressure and he could stay in the game longer. Obviously, some of that could be due him becoming accustomed to the speed of the game, but I think it is largely because he lost weight and could move around better. I expect a big year from him next year with the improved depth along the defensive line.

Espn, cnnsi, bleacher report, etc even if it was only 5% of his snaps he still played LB
Posted on 1/27/14 at 5:03 pm to tduecen
I promise he didn't.

Srsly. No way a 300 pounder was gonna play lb for us. Mike Marry was slow enough.
