Mapu LB or Safety?

What part of "He played all over for his college defense" didn't you understand?

All of it!

He hasn't been full-go because of injury (recovering from torn pec), so there is not much from the preseason to go on. Apparently they're impressed by his speed and athleticism. At 229 he's a bit on the light side for an NFL linebacker, but who knows? I'd guess they will rotate him in situationally.

The tweener out of Sacramento State was picked in the third round by the Patriots and is making his mark on Bill Belichick's defense.

Love what I've HEARD about him.. however haven't SEEN. So very tough to gadge. But he's projects to be a hybrid?
