So he is the 3rd best pass defending off ball LBer over the past 2 seasons according to PFF. What they don't mention is where he lands over the last 2 years against the run. He is outside the top 100. I am not a fan of PFF and their mystery algorithm. But what something like this tells me, is that he is absolutely a WILL that can run with TEs and backs in space. And probably would be a better run defender from the will where he can hunt and hit, instead of being the MIKE who is being hunted by OL.
I have zero problems keeping Littleton inside in the 34, but they are going to need a true MIKE that can let Littleton just flow sideline to sideline, and/or cover.
But I think his best spot is a 43 WILL, he'd be a 3 down guy that can just fly all over.
He just doesn't handle the run as well as a Mo or MIKE in a 34 as he should. Great player, and I am personally going to miss the heck out of him, but lets be realistic, he wasn't a MLB.
Thats what makes me wonder why everyone is so excited about Travin Howard, all 219 lbs of him, replacing a 230 lb. Littleton that had issues against the run. I hope he proves me wrong, or they draft a guy like Brooks to pair with a run stopping stud like Kiser.
