I think that Klaus more than most other players would really be able to be a dual threat player. While he is an offensive linemen, I believe that he could easily switch to defensive line, specifically defensive tackle. Klaus' strength is his strength. At the moment he is still working to build his speed and agility, he would be able to stuff the run very well and put a lot of pressure in the pocket for the quarterback. In high school and college, he actually did this. Ave Maria is a smaller NAIA school with only 1,300 students. So it was important for Klaus to be an impact player on both sides of the ball. While his overall strength was offense, he made an impact on defense. While would be far from the norm that a player play two positions in this league, Klaus would definitely be open to it if he was asked. He has always been of the mindset, the needs of the team first, so even if it meant him switching positions to defense, that is something that he would do.
