Darius Fleming's scheme fit centers on a traditional 3-4 defense, emphasizing strong, gap-controlling linebackers who can set the edge and occasionally rush the passer.
Fleming projects as a Year 1 rotational pass rusher and special teams contributor, with the ceiling to develop into a starting 3-4 outside linebacker.
He would be a poor fit in a modern 4-3 pass-rushing scheme that prioritizes speed and agility off the edge over raw power and run containment.
His size and strength are best utilized in a system that values stout run defense and allows for disciplined, downhill play over extensive coverage responsibilities.
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.
