Good point.
There is a reason that most, or many teams have dumped the Big linebackers in favor of smaller, or even extra DB types. Teams don't want or need big bruising backers like Lewis or Butkus anymore. They tend to go for more medium sized backers and more speed on the field.
JOK would haver never been considered for linebacker position 20 years ago. He would have been a slow safety.
