Tweeted by Dan Davis. Deep and filthy. I mostly agree except it will be interesting to see who locks up that FS position. Harris is a monster and Stevens looked good at OLB.

Stephens is going to play that nickel safety/FOLB kinda hybrid.

It’s almost feels like haveing a small lineup in basketball.

If we want to go light Stephen provides us with a lot of versatility there.

I think so unless someone gets injured. I don’t see him overtaking Harris. He wasn’t terrible at corner as a true freshman playing in the SEC and we need depth there

Replace Stevens at FS with Eric Monroe and it looks good to me.


Stevens needs to be in & around the box.

Joseph was listed as a CB by 247, he can play both.

If Stevens moves down to LB, who comes off the field? Shelvin and use 2 DL?

He was listed as a Saftery recruit but they lost him as a CB now because that’s what he plays.

He can play both but I don’t know if I see Him at CB long term with the talent we’re bringing in.

yeah, Aranda has done that plenty before.

5 LBs and 2 DLs.

The amount of size and athleticism with Chaisson, Queen, Phillips, Divinity, and Stevens is fricking awesome.

Glen Logan might not want to give up that spot

This is what is so exciting about next years Defense.

In years past, the question was always “who will step up and play at this position?”

The depth and top level talent right now is insane. The question next year instead is “how are we going to get guys like Stevens, Joseph, etc” onto the field. Great problem to have.

Stevens is def not a FS, he is your in-the-box Safety if anything.

I still think Fehoko is your main NG, if anything to get your 3 best DL on the field (Logan).

Donte Starks will not be ahead of Damone Clark & Tyler Taylor could factor in at ILB
