Chiefs Showing Interest In A Defensive End Turned Linebacker

PrintThe Kansas City Chiefs are showing interest in a defensive end out of the University of Louisiana-Lafayette. Hall Davis is a tweener meaning the 4-3 folks have him tabbed as a defensive end and the 3-4 folks have him as an outside linebacker.
He's 6'4", 271 pounds so his size could fit for both, although that's a little heavy for an outside linebacker and a 4.86 forty yard dash.
The Chiefs and another 3-4 team, the San Francisco 49ers, are showing the most interest, according to Joshua Parrott of The Advertiser (via Arrowheadlines).
"Some guys want me to play in the 3-4 role, some guys want me to play as a hands-down end," said Davis. "Some guys want me to drop some weight, some guys want me to gain some weight. It's all about which team drafts me. I played more of a 4-3 end as a junior and was more a 3-4 end as a senior, so I feel like I can play both positions."
Like Tamba Hali before the 3-4 switch, Davis hasn't played without his hands on the ground. It's difficult to determine how well guys will do with positions changes like that.
24 teams were represented at the pro day. Davis is expected to go in the mid-to-late rounds.

All this 43 versus 34 crap makes my head swim.
Isn’t there anybody that is a true 34 athlete we could go after? I feel like we’re rebuilding a Ford truck with Chevy Parts! And I don’t even know what that means.

Is projected to be an ILB and could play in both a 3-4 ILB or 4-3 MLB position. Davis would be OLB in a 3-4…you can’t really compare the two. In all reality a good football player is a good football player….

I can tell if a guy is a jerk by what he drives.
If you drive a Full size Ford truck there’s a 85% chance your a know it all jerk. I wonder what Ucraw drive’s.
Hall Davis
Mid to late rounds ! If he pans out he is worth a flier !

At this point the only way we can see if he has what it takes to play LB in a 34 is....
Hop of one leg, and bark like a dog…no..no..a BIG dog!
Opinions are like A--holes, everyones got one.
that is true... a 3-4 hybrid of sorts
Essentially a 4-3 on passing downs, but there may be occasions where we line up in a modified 4-3 in other situations.
