The hardships within transition from one position to another is often an underplayed, less frequently talked about aspect of shifting around on the roster. Having to develop a completely different focus on what your duties are and understanding a new section of the playbook is a lot easier said than done. Just ask Spencer Havner who, in 2009, made the move from outside linebacker to tight end. Call it a brief, yet successful move considering he hauled in four touchdowns that season.
Aaron Kampman and Jeremy Thompson - two former defensive ends in Green Bay. Both were obligated to make the transition to edge-rushers at outside linebacker once Dom Capers came onto the scene in 2009 as the new defensive coordinator.
