3-4 base defense, prioritizing versatility and pass-rush ability from linebackers.
Initially a rotational pass-rusher and coverage linebacker, with the ceiling to develop into a starting 3-4 outside linebacker.
A traditional two-gap 3-4 defensive end where his pass-rushing skill set would be underutilized.
Ayers' blend of size, athleticism, and pass-rush moves makes him a valuable asset for teams employing a diverse defensive scheme.
Selected #39 overall in Round 2 of the 2011 NFL Draft by Tennessee Titans out of UCLA.
