02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Long demonstrates traits fitting a one-gap 3-technique in a 4-3 attacking front, relying on quickness and penetration to disrupt backfields.

Best role

Year 1 rotational interior pass rusher with starter upside if he develops a more consistent run defense technique.

Wrong fit

A two-gap 3-4 defensive end where his lack of ideal size and strength would be exposed.

Long's athletic burst would be best utilized in a scheme that prioritizes upfield disruption over holding the point of attack.
