What makes OVR drop so much when using a player in a secondary position?

I'm attempting to put together a Bills theme team and I'm looking at the 90ovr Von Miller. I play a 4-3 so having him in at linebacker wouldn't make sense for me - I'd rather have him as an edge rusher. According to this site he goes down to an 86ovr when moved to the LE or RE position.

What causes this to happen and why does the game think he'll be so much worse at either of those positions? (even with him playing as a down lineman in 4-2/3 defense in real life)

I have even compared him to a couple of 90ovr players that I have and he compares favorably to them - specifically Frank Clark most feared.

Generally, the OVR drop is just part of EA's algorithm so I can't really explain that. I do think that Von specifically would be good despite his OVR (he would destroy any 86 OVR RE or LE in game) so I would ride with him.
