2 years agoDetroit Lions edge rusher Julian Okwara is cross-training as both an on-the-ball defensive end and an off-the-ball linebacker this offseason. He played most of his snaps last year on the defensive line and recorded three sacks in the last three games while finishing with five sacks on the season, 27 tackles (six for loss), an interception and a fumble recovery. "We consider him a linebacker. He is a hybrid," head coach Dan Campbell said of Okwara. "We consider him in base as a linebacker, more of a SAM linebacker or on the edge. In sub or in nickel, he becomes more of that defensive end." Okwara will have a chance to carve out a significant role if his versatility continues to show up in offseason practices.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
