Will Clayton Geathers start at safety and also play linebacker for the Colts?

Clayton Geathers wasn’t at the level where he was ready to replace veterans Dwight Lowery or Mike Adams in the starting lineup at safety as a rookie last season. But Geathers was too good to leave on the sideline all season on a defense that wasn’t very good. So the Colts used him as a dime or fifth linebacker because he’s athletic enough to play up in the box and defend tight ends in pass coverage.

@MikeWellsNFL What are your thoughts of having Clayton Geathers move into a LB role like Mark Barron or Deone Buchanon?
