What to do with Malik Jefferson in a 4-2-5

I just pulled 97 Malik Jefferson BND but I run a 4-2-5 and I have no idea what to do with him. Pretty deadset on keeping a 4-2-5.

Here is my team/defense: https://cfb.fan/25/lineup-builder/19800e31-28a5-44f4-a3a9-939e73c4ad19/

Right now I have him at Sub LB2 with robber on behind Holliman and then have Zachman and Carnell up high With my cb3 in the slot. He flies around but at the same time feels like he’s a waste there not rushing.

i could obviously put him at Rush RE and have him be on the line every down, but his overall drops so low and it seems like he‘s not doing a whole lot there. And if I do that I also have to use that slow Ray Lewis.

Any suggestions on what I should do with him?

also any suggestions on what abilities to run, strategy cards, etc with my current defense or what affordable WRs to add to my crappy WR room would be appreciated lol

I’m bummed that no one offered their opinion cause I’m in the same boat. Not BND though so I think imma sell him after he's out of packs.

blitz.

I have malik, ant hill, and gbenda at left, mid, right respectfully. usually off the line and Malik gets picks and fills gaps pretty well. I haven’t tried gold jump yet as I do well with Dylan Stewart and Colin Simmons silver jump

I pulled him BND as well. I recommend putting Gold Quick Jump on him and using him as a Left End. you can drop him into flats or purple zones, spy, or just let him get after the Qb with quickjump. He will show up as a 93 overall, you can also go into the specialist tab and put him in as LE there. The card plays very nice.

Also I see you mentioned slow Ray Lewis, check out Carson  Schwesinger at MLB., 94 speed and decently priced. Overall is a placebo effect. It doesnt matter on your lineup screen to be completely honest.

Pro players have been using cornerbacks as safetys and vice versa for years on madden and they continue to do this now on CFB, and yes the overall drops a few points. No big deal :)
