Utah football: Extra notes and quotes from Utes at Pro Day

"I'm pretty versatile," Fanaika said. "I think that what separates me from every single person in this draft is I can say with confidence that I've played every single possession in the box. I've started there. I've been productive."

He's been on scouts' radar for a while, and played in the Senior Bowl. Fanaika's career started at linebacker at Utah State. He was more of a down lineman at Utah, but played some stand-up linebacker. If he truly can find ways to contribute as an NFL linebacker, that would be enticing to several teams given his size.
