re: Post Combine Talk on 3-4 OLBs

these were kinda mind blowing to me...
The most impressive body of the combine probably belonged to Oregon defensive end Dion Jordan. At 6-6, 248 pounds, he checked into the Bod Pod with a body fat measurement of 3.8 percent—third lowest of any player at any position. What’s more, Jordan’s arms measured 33 7/8ths inches, and his hands were 10 inches.
Many people were impressed with Ziggy Ansah’s 4.56 40 yard dash at 271 pounds, and rightfully so. But they would have been more impressed if they knew Ansah didn’t even train for the event. Unlike probably every other player in attendance, Ansah kept going to class and never worked with an outside trainer to prepare for the combine. In fact, the 40 yard dash he ran at the combine was the first of his life, according to his agent Frank Bauer. It should be noted, however, that Ansah did run 100 meter dash and the 200 meters on the Brigham Young track team before he became a football player.

I had been thinking Ansah might not be as viable as a 3-4OLB. The more I look the more I see his athleticism making it workable.
For Jordan I about have him on the no way available list. Stranger things have happened but don't see it unless sumpin changes.

The little I saw ziggy in drills he just didn't look that natural and fluid in open space,

He could play the Willie McGinnest elephant role.
