LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio brushed off concerns about first-round pick Leonard Floyd's weight, saying the Chicago Bears knew all along the lanky outside linebacker will play at 230-235 pounds.

The Bears list Floyd at 6-foot-4 and 244 pounds on their official rookie minicamp roster.

“The weight thing’s not a big thing with me,” Fangio said Saturday. “He’s going to weigh somewhere between 230 and 235. That’s just what he’s going to weigh. We knew that before we drafted him. So it’s not an issue. We knew that and that’s a fact and that’s what he is.”

Fangio added: “I’m sure there’s going to be a play or two every game where you’re going to say, ‘Jeez, he’s not heavy enough’ or ‘He’s too light.’ Hopefully there’ll be a few plays every game, too, that we say, ‘Well, jeez, we didn’t have anybody who could have done that in the past.’ He is what he is.”

Fangio said the Bears moved up two spots to draft Floyd ninth overall because of his athleticism, length, speed, instincts and versatility.

However, Floyd’s production -- or lack thereof -- in college is curious. The Bears envision Floyd disrupting the quarterback at the next level, but the outside linebacker only had 4.5 sacks in 13 games in his final season at Georgia.

Can a player who wasn’t a great pass-rusher in college develop into a great pass-rusher in the NFL?

“Nobody comes to mind immediately, but he’s shown that he’s a good pass-rusher in college,” Fangio said. “He just doesn’t have the numbers to support that on a piece of paper. But a lot of that is due to the way they used him too.”
