02Scheme fit
Ideal system

He's ideally suited for a one-gap 4-3 penetrating front that prioritizes disruptive pass rush and athleticism on the defensive line.

5-tech DE4-3 DE
Best role

Year 1 rotational pass rusher who can develop into a dominant every-down starter with elite sack production.

Wrong fit

A traditional 3-4 two-gap scheme where his athleticism would be underutilized by requiring him to hold the point of attack for extended periods.

His exceptional athleticism and burst make him a valuable asset in schemes that allow him to attack upfield and disrupt plays in the backfield.

04The evaluation

Selected #15 overall in Round 1 of the 2010 NFL Draft by New York Giants out of South Florida.
