The 6-foot-5, 266-pound Kiwanuka said several teams have talked to him about converting from end to outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme. O’Brien thinks he’s perfectly capable of doing that - pointing to the time against Rutgers two years ago that he dropped into coverage on a zone blitz, picked off a pass and returned it for a touchdown - and Kiwanuka said he’s game.
“I can put my hand down, gain a little more weight and play the end posiiton that I’ve been playing for four years or I can take my hand off the ground, lose a little weight or stay where I am, and drop back in coverage a little bit,†he said. “Playing both positions are fun because, either way, I still have to get after the quarterback. And if I have to take my hand off the ground, drop back in coverage sometimes and maybe take the head off of someone coming across the middle, that’s fun, too. I’m fine either way.â€
