James Franklin press conference
Position switching was a big topic for Franklin on Tuesday evening. Safety Dakaari Nelson is now a linebacker and J’ven Williams has been getting reps with the guards recently after starting his career at tackle. He says that in Nelson’s situation, it was nature taking over.
“I think with a lot of these guys, we recruit them and bring them here based on kind of what position they played in high school, but right away he was like, 220 pounds and fighting it, you know, so obviously we need a little bit more depth at linebacker, and you’re looking at creative ways to solve problems.”
