Bellichick used Mike Vrabel, who was a 4-3 DE at Ohio State, to be his OLB. Notice a trend? Again. 3-4 OLBs are not traditional LBs. Almost 100% of the time, they are DEs that play a little bit of linebacker. You apparently can't see the enormous difference between a traditional LB and a 3-4 OLB. 4-3 ROLB, MLB, LOLB are similar to 3-4 RILB and LILB. 3-4 ROLBs and LOLBs are entirely different.

While I now have you on ignore, this just had to be addressed. Tedy Bruschi was a defensive end for most of his college career. He became an ILB in the NFL.

Pierre Woods was a linebacker at Michigan and is an OLB in New England. Tully Banta-Cain played outside linebacker before shifting to defensive end in college, and then back to OLB in New England.

Details, details, I know.....
