All 4-3 aren't created the same a 4-3 even front where the linebackers sit between each gap nice and squarely is what most people think of when they think 4-3. This does tend to be a little more interchangeable depending on what kind of coverage shells you like to run. If Shazier was in a 4-3 even he would be fine in any position, but when you start getting into over or under fronts things get a littler murky. I think Shazier can play Mike or Will in almost any scheme, I'd be most concerned about Sam because of the run fit responsibilities and his size.

You're right, I was oversimplifying, but you definitely got my point. Shazier's best fit would be WILL. He'd do well there. He could be solid at MIKE. He'd likely struggle at SAM.
Not every athletic, fast LB fits well into MIKE or especially SAM.
