He is pigeon holed as a 3-4 OLB.  We run a 4-3 that requires big ends.  Smith is a minimum 30 pounds lighter than our Edge guys.  

I can also say that as good as he was at Georgia, many expected him to be much more.

I'm not sure we run a traditional 4-3. Even Murphy was standing up in the preseason, and doing a lot of dropping in the training camp video's.
