Morgan projects best in a four-man defensive line with a one-gap 4-3 penetrating front, relying on quickness and hand usage rather than raw power.
Year 1 rotational pass rusher who can develop into a starting 4-3 defensive end with double-digit sack potential.
A 3-4 two-gap scheme where he'd be asked to consistently hold up against double teams and occupy blockers.
Morgan's blend of quickness and size makes him an effective pass rusher in a scheme that leverages his upfield penetration.
Selected #16 overall in Round 1 of the 2010 NFL Draft by Tennessee Titans out of Georgia Tech.
