Most likely to be back with the team next year?

I thought he was a linebacker at arizona

So did I. Are you sure PhnxRdskin that he played SS?

First post. Love the site and fresh opinions.

Switching Archeleta to LB is an intriguing idea but personally I have been never been real high on moves like that. I omit that I have no knowledge of Archeleta prior to being the Rams 1st round pick a few years back. Hearing from the post above that he played LB in college, I looked to confirm and found this:

A former walk-on at Arizona State, Archuleta played four years, starting the last three as a linebacker and recorded 330 tackles, 14 sacks, five forced fumbles, and six fumble recoveries. He ranks fourth on the Sun Devils’ all-time list with 54 stops behind the line of scrimmage and fifth on the all-time list of career solo tackles with 202.

Archuleta was named the Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year and was named to the All-Pac-10 Conference first-team as a senior. He led the team with 127 tackles. As a junior, he was named to the All-Pac-10 Conference first-team and was named the team’s Most Valuable Player.
As a student at Arizona State University, Archuleta majored in interdisciplinary studies/secondary education.

At Chandler High School in Chandler, Arizona, he earned first-team all-central region, was named all-state honorable mention and also named all-valley as a defensive back and running back. He also earned Most Valuable Player honors for the 1996 All-Hispanic team.

Finding out how successful he was playing the position in college make perfect sense trying to convert him back to LB. GW has said in past interviews he likes to convert DB into LBs to increase the range of the position for his schemes.
