I could be wrong, but didnt Von Miller come into the NFL at 230lbs?
I swear Denver used him on 1st and 2nd downs as a 4-3 SOLB than on passing downs had him rush the QB.
Could/would BB and Patricia do that with Floyd? Id love to see it!
Just checked. 246lbs I'm afraid. But Von Miller was someone I thought of when watching Floyd. Trouble is, Dion Jordan is another I've thought. He was also in the 240s but was a couple of inches taller. Cameron Wake was 236 (now 270), but of course he wasn't drafted. Chris Clemons was 230ish at the draft (264 now) but he too went Undrafted.
History isn't good for Floyd as a pass rusher. For now I think he'd have to be an off the line linebacker who blitzes, much as we use Collins and Hightower. At least until he adds 15lbs or so.
