Absolutely should. Play him at SS.
Posted this is the other thread, but there's no reason he can't play safety. He's done it before. Oliver took some snaps at safety with Atlanta last year and also was recruited as a three star safety out of highschool.
There you go!
Now Lynch confirming this is on the table too. I'd prefer to see this honestly. His skill set just seems like a better fit for SS and special teams. Blitzing, very little man coverage on receivers, run support.
