Dareus is a perfect fit for a one-gap 4-3 penetrating front, where his burst and power can be maximized to disrupt opposing offenses.
Immediate starter as a disruptive 3-technique, with potential to develop into an All-Pro interior pass rusher.
A strict two-gap 3-4 defense where his primary responsibility would be holding the point of attack rather than attacking gaps.
Dareus's combination of size, quickness, and strength makes him a scheme-versatile interior lineman, though he excels most in gap-penetrating systems.
Selected #3 overall in Round 1 of the 2011 NFL Draft by Buffalo Bills out of Alabama.
