02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The Packers employed a one-gap 3-4 penetrating front in 2012, transitioning to more diverse fronts over his tenure but emphasizing disruption.

3-4 DE3T DT4i DT
Best role

Daniels's Year 1 role could be an immediate rotational interior pass rusher with the ceiling to become an integral 3-4 DE or 3T in a penetration scheme.

Wrong fit

He would be a poor fit for a two-gap 3-4 scheme that requires holding the point of attack against double teams for extended periods.

A quick, undersized interior defensive lineman, Daniels's value is maximized in schemes that prioritize speed and disruption over raw power and size.
