Larry English

Okay, I'll be the first to bite.  Here's a fanpost on Larry English.  Being an NIU alum, I watch a lot of the Huskies games and I've seen a lot from English.  I love the dude (btw, he eats people).

Larry English

DE - Northern Illinois University

6-3  236 (although I see some places have him up to 254)

Here's a great collection of Senior Bowl observations written up by Mad.Mike at Red and Black Attack.  And here's another.  I'll go ahead and let the professionals speak for me here since they carry a little more legitimacy.

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).

Now for some highlights.

good stuff tackle box

English is an interesting player. I’ve even seen a couple place that have him converting to LB in the NFL. Any thoughts?

If he muscled up to 250+ you’d think that skill set would translate well to LB.

I've thought of that as well.

but I worry if he did move to linebacker, would it be to the outside? That’s the least of our needs at linebacker. But I figure at 250ish, he could definitely fill up that MLB position. He might not be any good at it, but he’d physically fill it up.

Great report

Make sure the guys over at mocking the draft (especially styg50, their NFC West cover man) see this.

Jay Zygmunt, now that you have fired yourself, please have yourself hired by Seattle. Thanks.

I added it to the fanposts over at MtD

I’m interested in hearing more about what others think of English switching to LB

Any relation to Alex English NBA great? If so, Larry could become a strong defensive scoring threat.
