How did Chris Long get to be an inside backer?

How did Chris Long get to be an inside backer?

Because it's my projection. If the Pats were to get him, I think ILB would be his ultimate position....not unlike Bruschi's path.

I highly doubt it, but opinions are like a**holes...


Edit: I also think the fallowing players have a more realistic change of shifting to ILB:

Cliff Avril Purdue
Stanford Keglar Purdue
Bryan Kehl BYU
Titus Brown Mississippi St.
Casper Brinkley South Carolina

I think you're right about this. In fact, I'd feel more comfortable about this prospect than him at DE or OLB. At ILB, I see him shining. At the others, I see him being perennially productive at best. Which is still good.
