To be honest, when I was first approached about switching positions I was a bit skeptical. I mean linebacker is all I've ever known. Heck, I come from a line of linebackers; my father was a professional linebacker and my grandpa was a professional linebacker. Realistically I could have just flat out said no. I could have pulled the I'm a first round draft pick card and see what happened. When it came down to it though I decided to embrace it. I decided that the only way for me to grow as a player and an individual is put myself in such an uncomfortable situation and see what comes of it. So far it's been pretty great. I haven't played the position very long, but I feel like moving to defensive end might have been the best decision for my career. Obviously there's a long road ahead of me so we'll see what ultimately comes of it, but so far I'm enjoying the ride. I did alright in preseason and have a sack in each game so far on the year, but I try not to get too caught up in statistics because I realize sometimes my impact won't be felt on the stat sheet, but rather open up opportunities for my teammates to break through the line and make plays.
