Agreed. He has great size for a 3-4 End.

he was a 3-4 DE in college

I hope we go after another OLB, this is a good time to evaluate some talent for the OLB position

let the starters rest, and find some solid reserves ...but I'm hoping this Francis kid can get into the mix, he has the size to be a force, and with extended playing time the young guys can make a better case for a job, and toughen up our defense in a big way

6-5 290 ...DAMN !!! , thats some serious run stoppage from the OLB spot , plus we could use him as an edge rusher in the nickel & dime packages, I'm rooting for this kid

Just the next man up on the list of unsigned players for that position. Would be great if he showed development under good coaching but this late in the offseason... He's just a speed bump for our Oline to block going against the 3rd string D.

F'n awesome! Wait......wut? who? Preseason hero?
