Hood and McLendon to switch positions?
Ziggy Hood - DL - Pittsburgh Steelers
Jan. 27, 2013 - 1:30 PM ET

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette thinks the Steelers could consider moving Ziggy Hood to nose tackle in 2013.

Hood has been one of the least productive pass-rushing 3-4 ends in football since being a first-round pick in 2009, but he has been a solid run defender. At 300 pounds, Hood is a little light for a 3-4 nose. Beat writer Gerry Dulac suggests Steve McLendon could then move from the middle to the outside at defensive end.
