He needs to make a choice about whether he wants to be a OLB or DE in the NFL. Chances are he's an OLB even at 260.

Honestly he can probably play both. He has enough bend around the edge to be either and his length makes it easier for him

Not really a choice he has to make, he'll be an OLB in a 3-4 or a DE in a 4-3.

No choice to make, he's a 3-4 OLB at the next level.

He is a guy you put on the field. Doesn't matter where tbh. He will ball out regardless.

4-3 ends are normally between 255-280, most pass rushing ends float around 260 give or take.

Khalil Mack plays both OLB/DE. Why can't Key?

Even at 240 he's holds his ground and plays well against the run, but 260 gives him the size to be a 4-3 DE or 3-4 OLB. It will also help him generate more ability to simply overpower his oppenents. If he can do that and stay fast, his stock goes up even more. Even if he reaches 255 that's great.
