What position does Malik Dear project for us?

[J-Dawg]

The Chris Jones saga ended my following recruiting closely.... so I admit I don't know much about our class. With the Moton commit, I glanced over at our list on 247. Did not realize Dear was as built as he is.

He has the size of a power running back. Do we try him there, or does he stay at WR? He's got the size, but does he have the speed to play at Matt Wells role on defense? Or does JT Gray have that covered going forward?

Deer wants to play WR, but he essentially looks like Josh Robinson 2.0. He needs to shed some weight.

Well according to all the Ole Miss cronies he's slow and fat.

I imagine he goes through both WR/RB drills until next Spring. He sits on the bench behind Gray.

I saw him play as a sophomore and

To me he is a Rb. I think he has a lot of upside, damn good football player.

I say he ends up primarily at RB. We are going to have a lot of guys vying for that slot receiver position.

This is the general thought process among people who have seen him.
