A gap/duo power run game defensive scheme valuing versatility and strength on the edge.
Year 1 rotational pass rusher who can develop into a starting 4-3 defensive end or 3-4 outside linebacker.
A wide-9 attacking front where his hand-in-dirt pass-rushing technique would be underutilized compared to more explosive, bend-centric ends.
Worilds' combination of strength, quickness, and versatility to play multiple fronts makes him an attractive option for power run defenses seeking adaptable edge defenders.
Selected #52 overall in Round 2 of the 2010 NFL Draft by Pittsburgh Steelers out of Virginia Tech.
