Warriors in the Pros: David Veikune

TheOBR.com has an article about the potential pressure on David Veikune.

The Browns have not drafted defensive players high in the draft. David Veikune tops this year's list, being a second-round selection. How much hope is being placed on a player who is changing leagues and positions?

Mike Wilkening of ProFootballWeekly.com writes about Veikune's experience dropping into coverage.

Veikune occasionally dropped into coverage when the Warriors played “zone-dog” defenses in passing situations. In such a scheme, the Warriors blitz five players and have six players drop into coverage, with a defensive end and a linebacker responsible for the receivers running underneath while the cornerbacks and safeties play over the top. “He would make the drop according to what he saw,” Hawaii DL coach Dave Aranda said of Veikune, whom he called the hardest-working player he had ever coached.
