I don't see Broughton as a 3-4 DE at all. He is kind of small for a 4-3 DE. It's the same reason I laugh at people who say we could use Will as a 3-4 DE. I really think some people don't understand the differences between 3-4 and 4-3 personnel. Now I absolutely see Broughton as a 3-4 OLB.


272 pounds is small for a 4-3 DE? 6'6, 272 pounds is not someone who should be playing 3-4 OLB. Will Smith is listed at 282 pounds, but looks to be more like 290. Either way, he definitely has the size and power to be a 3-4 DE. You sound like someone who doesn't understand anything about 3-4 defenses.

If you would have kept reading the thread instead of the one posting you would have seen that I already said that the last I heard he was 255 not 272. Will Smith is a bad run stopper and pass rusher who I I have watched countless time get absolutely manhandled by 1 olineman. He is bad at holding his ground which is why people run his way. A 3-4 DE needs to be able to occupy blockers and Smith can not.
