02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Kavell Conner projects as a traditional inside linebacker, best suited for a 4-3 defense that prioritizes strong run defense and downhill play from its second-level defenders.

MLB (4-3)ILB (3-4)
Best role

Immediate starter at MLB in a run-heavy 4-3 defense, with the ceiling to be a dependable, high-volume tackler.

Wrong fit

Spread-out, pass-heavy defenses that require linebackers to consistently cover in space or contribute significantly to complex blitz packages.

His size and athleticism suggest a clear fit for schemes valuing physical, downhill linebackers who can anchor against the run.
