Xavier Adibi - Strong Safety?

[Number19]

Over at the Houston Texans board there was a thread started by the equipment manager for Virginia Tech. He seems to think that perhaps X-man's best position might be Strong Safety. His measurables are close to NFL optimum for the position and Sporting News has him rated as the top LB for coverage skills.

Here are some of his comments:

...thought you might want to hear some inside information on the 2 guys you selected from VT. I know both players very well. I was an equipment manager with VT for 4 years and i worked specifically with the Linebackers for my final 3 seasons....What (Xavier) lacks in size, he makes up for in speed and technique. He broke the VT speed record for speed in the 40 at around 4.6. I can't remember the number exactly, but I recorded the time before spring practice started 2 years ago. He is a great guy and after working with the linebackers for 3 years, he had the best technique out of all of our LB's. He is smart, he can hit, hes great in coverage from sideline to sideline, and he has great hands....I wouldn't be surprised if they moved him to strong safety because of his size....X's brother Nathaniel who played for the Jags for a bit said X would most likely play Strong Safety in the NFL....

I hope the coaching staff are at least aware of this possibility.
