Best in a one-gap 4-3 penetrating front that asks its defensive ends to shoot gaps and pressure the quarterback with diverse rush moves.
Year 1 starter with a ceiling to be a perennial Pro Bowl edge rusher and a disruptive force against both run and pass.
Dunlap's value diminishes in a two-gap 3-4 system where he would be asked to consistently hold the point of attack and occupy blockers.
A powerful and athletic edge defender, Dunlap is ideally suited for a scheme that prioritizes aggressive pass rush and allows him to use his explosiveness off the edge.
Selected #54 overall in Round 2 of the 2010 NFL Draft by Cincinnati Bengals out of Florida.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
