The fact that he could be an ILB is simply a nice plan B a la Brad Jones, Terrell Manning, and Jamari Lattimore. It's a sound strategy. In the meantime, he worked with the same coach as the ILB (Winston Moss is now in charge of both now) and is so far from action on either depth chart that its special teams that matters anyways.
By description, he kinda sounds like James Harrison. Not sure if measurables line up. But thinking you might have a talent along those lines would also help explain the patience.
