From there, I think that’s what we have to figure out – whether he’s going to be strong enough, stout enough to play defensive end or is he a person like what happened with LB Mike Vrabel when he came out of Ohio State when he was close to 280 pounds and got skinny and became an outside linebacker. I think initially we feel that he can come in and contribute in our sub-situations and we’ll take the rest from there and figure out exactly where he’s going to go.”

Thanks for the clarification.
So the immediate plan is to plug him along the interior and see where he goes from there.
