We can all concur that this is the most talented and deep group of healthy active linebackers since 2007, that form an intellectual and versatile corps capable of lining up all over the place. With that being said, who plays what position at linebacker? And how often will they be in that role? Any thoughts or feedback?
Capabilities and past positions whether in pros or college
Jerod Mayo - ILB/OLB, Coverage
Brandon Spikes - ILB/OLB and DE in college (Worked on Coverage this offseason, We'll see)
Don'ta Hightower - OLB/ILB/DE, some SS in college, Coverage
Jamie Collins - OLB/DE/SS Hybrid, Coverage, (Labeled beast in college)
Dane Fletcher - ILB/OLB and some DE in college
Steve Beaurharnais - ILB/OLB
/ Rob Ninkovich - OLB/DE Hybrid, Coverage
Michael Buchanan - OLB/DE Hybrid (Labeled draft sleeper pick)
Jermaine Cunningham - OLB, DT and DE (Very versatile guy, but never emerged)
Adrian Wilson - SS/OLB, in the box, Coverage (lost some speed to cover TE's, we'll see)
Jake Bequette - DE/OLB
Chandler Jones playing some OLB in a 3-4?
Marcus Benard - OLB/DE Hybrid
