Anybody truly versatile at linebacker? Any huge yet surprisingly agile nose tackles? e.t.c

Recruited a 4* OLB who was 6'7 228lbs. He can in at a 79 at OLB, but he was a 83 at DE. I kept him at OLB, but will move him to DE if my defense keeps playing bad while in 3-4.

Its weird how many 6'7 guys you'll find at positions like Safety & LB.

Seriously, I've seen about 5-6 LBs that were 6'7", and even one that was 6'8". Unfortunately most of them were stick figures, LBs who were 6'6"-6'8" and only 210-220 lbs. 220 lbs is good for a LB who is like 5'11" or 6'0", but at 6'6" he would be a lot better Safety, too bad they also had poor coverage skills, so I couldn't even move them to FS/SS.

The lack of legitimate 3-4 prospects is a bit irritating at times. It becomes more irritating when you lose AWR points for converting DT to DE and DE to OLB.

It's generally easier to find regular DT's in the 290-310 range and convert them to DE with a redshirt. The DE to OLB conversion is fine for edge rushers, but you'll get killed in coverage with any of them in a zone (usually D- coverage skills). Finding legit 3-4 OLB's is the holy grail this year.
