The Arizona Cardinals drafted Shaq Riddick to be an edge rusher at outside linebacker, knowing he had never played the position. Of couse, at 6-6, 260 pounds, he is the right build for the position and his speed is exciting.
He has a lot of work to do, but he at least says the right things.
In an article that appears on ohio.com, he said he knew he would likely end up playing linebacker because of his weight.
"I did the drills every day. After that I got a feel of it and knew I really could play this position," Riddick said Friday at the NFC portion of the NFL Rookie Symposium's PLAY 60 Youth Football Clinic at Browns headquarters.
