Kyle Wilber is a perfect fit for a hybrid 3-4 defense that emphasizes versatile linebackers capable of rushing the passer and dropping into coverage.
He projects as a Day 1 rotational pass rusher and special teams contributor, with the ceiling to develop into a starting 3-4 outside linebacker.
His value diminishes significantly in a pure 4-3 Cover 2 system due to his tweener size and lack of elite sideline-to-sideline range.
Wilber's athletic profile and skill set make him an intriguing piece for a defensive system that values hybrid defenders.
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.
