Everyone is so quick to paint this guy as a thug... I was surprised to hear how intelligent and eloquent he came off in interviews. Reminds me a lot of Randy Moss. There might be some anger issues, there might be some alcohol issues, there might be some moral issues, but the guy is smart, and he knows what's at stake right now. I think there is a really good chance he's going to turn into a hell of a football player and all the outraged sanctimonious types will seal their place in history alongside the Flynn loving hysterics from 2012.
This guy has a LOT of talent. He used to play safety in the low 200s... and now he's bulked all the way up to 272 and could probably play nickle DT if he wanted. I bet this guy could play almost any spot on defense if he really put his mind to it and was given some time to shift his body weight.
Even if he busts at DE, he might be able to transition to DT. Or he might be able to lose a little weight and try playing SAM LB. I don't think he's going to need to change positions though, he's a similar kind of player to Michael Bennett coming out of Texas A&M. Varied repertoire, exceptional core strength, outstanding vs. both run and pass.
