It makes sense. Everybody knows Alex functions best in a three tight end spread offense.

Keith Smith was Horrible! my grandma ran faster than that little s**t! And Matty M said this guy is a DE that we picked up,not a TE..

Well he's not heavy enough to play 3-4 DL, and we dumped that dude Baraka Atkins, and this guy isn't going to play tight end, he's a defensive end, so if they wanted a blocking tight end they would've gone out and found a guy who plays as a blocking tight end. Want to guess where else he'll play, if he plays at all?

Nah, just a goof up on my part, looked at his profile but failed to notice position is DE/DT not TE. Speaking of that, I could see him as a pass-rushing DE on 3rd downs or maybe a converted OLB.

Walker is a DE/OLB Prospect coming from Illinois.

He outplayed his teammate Will Davis last year, who is now a hybrid OLB with Arizona. He has the athleticism to play the position, so I'm sure all they're seeing is if they can develop him.
