He’s got ‘Hot Boyz’ written all over him.

I loved Van Noy coming out of BYU. Wished we would have taken him.
He was a bust his first two years with the Lions. Traded to Patriots where he actually fit. I doubt he would have fit any better in Marinelli's system. He'd probably have a better chance in Quinn's system in the Bruce Irvin role.

I wouldn't say bust. I'd say that the Lions were not using him the way he fit but I think it's wrong to label a player as such if the team can't figure out a system and players who fit into it.

In Marinelli's system, he would have worked. I think he could have played MLB.

2nd round pick with 16 total tackles in two years, no forced fumbles, no recovered fumbles, no passes defended, no interceptions and traded to New England for an exchange of 6th and 7th round draft picks. That is a bust for the Lions.

There are a few negative comments about him in this thread but personally I would be happy to take a punt on him. Not huge money for a position that seriously needs improvement.

Agreed, experienced player, I think we should be interested

Where would he play in the 4-3? OLB? He’s a good 3-4 guy so I’m curious to know because I don’t have a clue

You make it sound as though his skill set makes it only possible to play in 1 position in 1 scheme. If he can tackle, block and move we can use him anywhere. I am more interested in his ability to contribute in general. Our lb play has been poor and Sean Lee is spent.
