Alex Carrington projects best within a hybrid 3-4 defense that prioritizes athletic defensive ends who can contribute as both run defenders and pass rushers.
Initially rotational 3-4 DE with a ceiling as potential starter, offering versatility as an interior pass rusher on obvious passing downs.
A purely penetrating 4-3 wide-9 scheme where he would struggle with consistency against quicker offensive tackles.
His size, athleticism, and ability to hold the line make him a valuable asset for schemes that value versatility on the defensive line.
Selected #72 overall in Round 3 of the 2010 NFL Draft by Buffalo Bills out of Arkansas State.
