Akeem Dent is best suited for a 4-3 Cover-2 zone defense that allows him to play downhill and leverage his run-stopping ability, while also providing opportunities in short-to-intermediate zone coverage.
Year 1: Special teams ace and strong-side run defender. Ceiling: multi-down 4-3 WILL.
Two-gap 3-4 schemes demanding extensive pass rush or complex coverage reads.
Dent projects as a solid, run-first linebacker who can contribute immediately on special teams and develop into a reliable starter in a zone-heavy 4-3 system.
Selected #91 overall in Round 3 of the 2011 NFL Draft by Atlanta Falcons out of Georgia.
