They don't really drop back into coverage so listing them as OLB doesn't totally seem right. Calling both Nick Vigil and Von Miller OLBs is a stretch because they don't really do the same thing. This way Miller is labeled as an 'edge'.
I'm sure there is a better way to explain it, but that's how it makes sense to me.
Same way i feel.
Carl Lawson is and Edge player like Von Miller.
Vigil is an Outside Linebacker.
