I don't know whether he's unathletic - he looked pretty good to me. I think he clearly has a true position as a 4-3 DE. The question is whether he is athletic enough to play 3-4 OLB as well, or whether he can play SILB.
I'm not sure whether he fits the Pats, but I am intrigued by him, so I am glad we are doing due diligence and giving him a look. I'm sure Mayo has had some input regarding him, as they played together for 3 years. A visit may end up just taking him off our board if he doesn't fit, but again, I think there's enough upside and potential value there to warrant a closer inspection.
