Rodjay Burns has moved to the OLB spot this spring, and is enjoying being more physical in this role.
This also increases the speed for the D. And coaches like Burns flexibility, gives them options in nickel packages.
6'0" and 190 though ..... that's interesting.
Way back in high school -- mid 80's -- at Ballard, Bobby Redman implemented a chaos defense, with guys playing D-End that were 5'8" (maybe), but very ripped. Those guys were so fast, they would blow up plays before they got started. It was very effective. Of course, back then, teams mostly ran the ball. It was a couple years before passing offenses took hold in high school. This reminds me of that a little bit. Speed, over size.
