I think he will play Buck Linebacker - behind Key if Chaisson goes to Texas. Didn't have gaudy stats, but is a solid potential pass rusher - could be special, depending on how he develops. He is not a Day 1 threat to start like Key was or Chaisson is.

Doubt he does anything except scout team and, maybe, special teams.

With his frame - he could be in a pickle - if he gets to 265 - I'm not sure if he would be stout enough to play DE in a 3-man line. He's not a real threat to play a stand up, pass rush position and isn't really a cover guy either - might be an option at Mack or Rover - but I suspect it will be reserve duty - depending on who else we get.
