02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Joe Kruger is a strong fit for a 4-3 one-gap attacking front, leveraging his explosiveness and power to disrupt opposing offenses.

Wide-9 DE5-tech DEOpen-side DE
Best role

Year 1 rotational pass rusher who can develop into a starting 5-technique with refined technique.

Wrong fit

Two-gap 3-4 defense where his primary responsibility would be holding the point of attack rather than penetrating.

Kruger's athletic profile and burst make him an attractive option for schemes prioritizing upfield disruption from their defensive ends.
