Larry English

PrintOur very own NIU alum at Turf Show Times has put together a nice scouting report on Larry English, DE.
He's a little undersized to play DE but he's a legitimate pass rusher and all around badass. His size might push him down in the draft a bit even though there is talk by some of him going in the first round. Ultimately, I think there's a chance teams will pass on him for more prototypical DEs who played in BCS conferences which should make him a possible steal in the 3rd round (or a mid to late 2nd rounder if we end up trading down). One problem however, is English may fit better into a 3-4 scheme but there are people who think he'll fit just fine in a 4-3 base (especially the Tampa 2).
While I'm here, I wanted to ask the other draft afficiandos what they think about English switching to LB, specifically MLB?

Has he got the recognition skills?
He’s clearly a monster at LB, whatever his weight might be (he looks huge and plays huge). My concerns would be pass coverage and recognition. At OLB the recognition issues would be lessened and similar to what he saw on the edge of the DL
