The one-gap 4-3 penetrating front with a strong emphasis on quick, disruptive interior play is where Nevis can excel.
Nevis projects as a rotational 3-technique player in Year 1, with the ceiling to develop into an every-down starter.
A two-gap 3-4 defense where he would be asked to consistently hold the point of attack against double teams would diminish his impact.
His athletic gifts and burst make him a natural fit for schemes that prioritize upfield disruption from their defensive tackles.
Selected #87 overall in Round 3 of the 2011 NFL Draft by Indianapolis Colts out of LSU.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
