Trent Murphy has been repeatedly switched between OLB and DL since going pro, despite having played only LB at Stanford. So, not sure if it will matter much whether Thomas gets OLB experience at Stanford.

I don't think it's true to say that he's switched repeatedly, from what I read he was asked to switch from OLB to DL this past offseason, so he bulked up a bit and started learning technique, but then there was an injury or a trade or something that thinned out their planned OLB depth, so he cut the weight and went back to OLB. I don't think this really says much about making the switch, since I don't believe he ever played a down on the DL.
