These prospects will most likely play outside linebacker in a 4-3 alignment. Players less than 220 pounds are usually weak side linebackers, however, in Madden, there are no weak side and strong side designations. Some of these players will also move to middle linebacker in 3-4 schemes, similar to Ryan Shazier with the Steelers.
