Su’a Cravens Playing Linebacker Too

With Jabari Ruffin out for the season, safety Su’a Cravens is playing linebacker in nickel situations. Cravens said it is similar to what Shaq Thompson did last season at Washington.

In normal defenses, Quinton Powell is now starting in Ruffin’s position. Powell said he was excited about his opportunity.

“This is ‘SC. This isn’t a regular school,” Powell said. “This is crazy.”

  1. Smart move.. I thought they would go with Juju Smith at this position instead, but Cravens there in Nickle situation is a solid idea as well.

    • I imagine that Cravens could play it every down, if that were the only solution. But reports put Powell in genuine competition with Ruffin, not a distant second.
