Any tips on where to go next? Just leveled up and have some SP's to spend. I got Speed and agility to 68. Is strength worthwhile as an OLB?

I'm not sure what you're trying to go for here. You're highest stat is agility with high tackling which would make me believe you like to blitz, but with not even 30 strength you must be get pancaked quite a bit. You also have pumped power tackling without he strength to back it up. The low strength must also be hurting you quite a bit in the run game as well (how many missed tackles again even competition?)

Now if you're going for more of a coverage type of scheme, which the long reach makes me think you are. You need to get your speed into the 80's, vision at least to the next cap and strat training jumping/catching hard (ballhawk requires 40 jumping).

If you're not trying to be specialized and more balanced then once again strength is your answer. You're also missing SA's which at 37 I would think would be a good time to starting spending some points into them. I'm assuming this is equipment without stats since it doesn't look liked you've got CE equipped. What are your stats with equipment?

I guess I'm just a little confused by your build and want to know what your focus is?

Well if you're in the hard hitter tree then I would go:
Strength
Vision
Monster Hit
In that order and maybe train the jumping/catching combo a few times.
You could almost swap over to MLB if you get a defensive general piece of AEQ.

(what are you using for AEQ btw? At 37 you probably have 2 pieces I assume?)

second cap vision, then cap strength. Train jmp/sta and jmp/cth, You're gonna need to get that stamina close to the cap within the next 10 levels or so.
