Linebacker/safety hybrid players are becoming more and more popular in the NFL. Personally, I think one of these guys would fit well in the Detroit Lions defense.
We’ve already have a whiff of a hybrid player in Miles Killebrew. Obviously, he’s not the primary man for this position. But he’s shown flashes of what good can come out of having a hybrid player.
Out of all the top ranked prospects in this upcoming draft, Clemson LB/S hybrid, Isaiah Simmons, seems to be getting overlooked the most, and I really don’t know why.
In Simmons’ first three seasons at Clemson, he played the strong safety position.
