I guess he had something called drop foot all year. I think that's what i read or heard. Also remember hearing someone say it's something that doesn't ever get fully back to 100% or some shit.
Could Snowden be a hybrid LBer for us? Look where he's lined up at basically CB at 3:25 of this video and i posted a video clip a few posts up of him also lined up at MLB and CB in it. Could he be our Anthony Barr type or is he too tall?
Leonard Floyd ?!? But less long stride...
FWIW, I don't think Snowden has the frame to add that much weight. He's very narrow-waisted with a skinny lower half.
He measures out as a 3-4 OLB
he would have to put on at least 50-60 lbs mostly in muscle to convert to a lineman that won't get plowed off the LOS. I think he sticks as an OLB based off his size alone. He could easily add 20 lbs of muscle (mostly) over the course of a season with NFL trainer/nutrionists. Lotta work though.
If he's on the oline it will be during passing situations....he's got laterally quickness and hes a ball hawk near the line...
Yeah i know he looks like a OLB but was just thinking maybe he could play off the line for us like A.Barr does cause he's a big kid as well at 6'5" 255 pounds. Virginia had him playing all over the defense as shown in the most recent video where he's lined up way outside where CB's line up and in a video i posted up this page some where he's lined up at MLB and again way outside at CB.
Yeah I get his lankiness; we've all seen that fail miserably in this defense before is what I am saying. He reminds me of another Floyd; which isn't necessarily a bad thing I think Floyd was and is a solid player. Having a guy that size peeling off on tight ends and occupying space I think is more valuable than having him try and rush the passer at a weight where it's a huge disadvantage. Maybe blitz him, but not ask him to go one on one with tackles. JMO (at least initially until he builds his frame and legs)
a Floyd type player as an UDFA is just fine....
I read, if it's drop foot, he is probably already recovered, or it could be something permanent.
Lets hope it's the former and he's already recovered.
Yes, I read it could be as simple as getting hit around the knee and healed in a few weeks to a neurological disorder. They arent saying.
