Gaines Adams' 3-4 OLB comments

[ManCans]

From his combine Q&A:

Any thoughts about moving to outside linebacker in a 3-4 defense?
“Oh yeah, I would love to. I’ve been working at those things at Fisher Sports and linebacker drills, doing things like that. 4-3, 3-4, I’m ready for it all.”

Have you done any dropping into coverage?
“I did a little dropping at Clemson, not a whole lot. I’m familiar with it and if I have to do it, I’m able to do it.”He weighed in at 258 lbs. at the combine, and says he can add another 10 pounds without losing speed. Sounds like he's preparing to switch to 3-4 outside linebacker.

Interesting.

He's still got the bubble of a DE though, and should probably be considered at that position.

So because he weighed in at 258 at mentioned he has done some LB drills, he is all of a sudden switching positions? I don't think so. He is a 4-3 DE.

It's not that he's switching positions, really he's just helping his draft stock saying that he could do both.
