No but he was regarded as a 3 down lineman. He also wasnt 310 pounds. Billings wasnt. I personally think billings will be a 7 sack per year guy but a lot of executives thought he would have to come off the field on 3rd down for better pass rushers and thats why he fell.quote from article on why billings fell.
During the draft, Mike Mayock dismissed the knee rumors and stated that multiple teams told him that they felt Billings was a run stopping tackle only. This is fairly plausible. Billings has some great speed and quickness, but he’s very raw as a pass rusher.
