Christian Ballard continues versatility with Minnesota Vikings | TheGazette

From article:

Ballard enters his second season with the Vikings and he fits into the team’s plans at both defensive tackle and defensive end.

“We think he can play the three-technique for us,â€￾ Minnesota Coach Leslie Frazier said. “We also think he can swing outside and play some defensive end as well. He gives us position flexibility that you don’t always see with defensive tackles.

“We’re trying to determine if we want him to settle on letting him play one position or letting him continue to swing but he’s done a very good job in the snaps that we gave him in both three-technique and the left end position.â€￾
 
and this is the reason he was a projected 1st or 2nd rounder until he tested positive. he is a freak of nature and was probably the best all around dl on the team while he played at iowa. clayborn was great but he didnt have to play 2 spots and rotate around like ballard.
