you see how they are treating running backs in the league now? maybe his pops told him to stay at lb to maximize his future earnings and to keep him healthy.
i don't think LB was his choice. the evaluators were saying its his best position. he's not considered an elite prospect at RB. even if thats what he wanted.
IMO he better hope he grows another inch or two and can gain 30 lbs. the only LBs making money in the league right now are the 3-4 OLBs that rush the passer. ala Justin Houston. the ole school 4-3 OLB doesn't get much more than RBs.
