I just spoke about Drew in a recent artcicle, but hey, he fits this topic flawlessly.

I’ve watched Drew play practically every defensive position minus D-Line. Plus, he has experience playing receiver and running back.
When Drew was a freshman, he was an electric running back, and I viewed him as a future college back. I thought he had enough toughness, contact balance, and vision to develop at the position.

Later on, he’s bounced around positions, but it seems he’s settled in as an off-ball Will LB or even a Strong Safety. Drew’s tape says that he’s physical and reactive enough to play both. I don’t quite know how his pass coverage is at either position, but I’d feel comfortable letting him work in zone coverage. The run game is where Drew truly thrives. A lot of the time, a prospect is either physical or he’s not- and Drew is very physical in the run game. Love how Drew accellerates toward the ballcarrier and runs through him. No extra yards awarded when Drew is in front of you.
