Vinny Curry projects best into a 4-3 one-gap attacking scheme, prioritizing quickness and disruption over raw power at the defensive end position.
As a Year 1 player, Curry could immediately contribute to the defensive end rotation, with the ceiling to become an impactful starter, especially in pass-rushing situations.
A two-gapping 3-4 front would struggle to utilize his skill set, as it emphasizes holding the point of attack over his strengths in penetration and quickness.
Curry's blend of quickness and size makes him a good fit for aggressive defensive schemes, but he may lack the pure power for more static, two-gap responsibilities.
Selected #59 overall in Round 2 of the 2012 NFL Draft by Philadelphia Eagles out of Marshall.
