02Scheme fit
Ideal system

3-4 two-gap defense relying on powerful, immovable interior defensive linemen to occupy blockers and free up linebackers.

0-technique NT1-technique DT5-technique DE
Best role

Year 1 rotational nose tackle with the ceiling to become a full-time, ground-eating starter.

Wrong fit

Any single-gap penetrating 4-3 defense where his lateral quickness and pass-rushing upside would be severely limited.

Ellis's exceptional size and strength are ideally suited to a run-stuffing role within a two-gap system, leveraging his ability to hold the point of attack.

04The evaluation

Selected #94 overall in Round 3 of the 2011 NFL Draft by New York Jets out of Hampton.
