He will be a OLB (RE-OLB) IMO and to me is very similar to Garrett Nelson.    Reported as running in the low 4.6 range which I would assume is hand-timed so runs a 4.8 electronic.   I do not see him as a 3-4 DE but I suppose they might have him do that in third and forever?   He can put his hand down as a 4-3 RE for sure if they want him to play that technique.  Don't we do that on occassion?  We need OLB's that are physically ready to play so okay with this pickup.

I like the fact that he is a former soccer/boxer/mixed martial arts guy.    Soccer players learn how to take good angles.   They are always running so they understand conditioning and they have good feet.  Boxing is a good indicator that the guy is not afraid to hit and take a blow.   Mixed martial arts is the same plus it adds the wrestling aspect where leverage concepts come into play as well as shooting for legs which translates to a quick first step in football.

4.6 on laser according to coach who contacted Held. That’s exciting if true!

My thoughts exactly. His coach said “

"He's improved a ton, but he's still a pup," Forchtner said. "He's got a long way to go and he can improve a ton. And he will. …

"He's got a size/speed combo that's pretty rare. He ran a low 4.6-second (range) on the laser (in the 40-yard dash), so that's his strong point,"

Here is the article I read:

It does, but he’s got 4 for 3. We could bring him in this summer and give him a full season and 4 games experience to adapt to B1G ball. I think this kid has a chance to make a name for himself. If they use him as an OLB with low 4.6 speed... he’s going to eat. Average NFL OLB 40 is 4.65.

Oh for sure, I just saw the tweet on the previous page talking about maybe Spring. It's nice we found 2 Juco kids with 4 for 3.
