02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Jonathan Bostic is best suited for a 4-3 Cover 2 defense, where his blitzing ability and straight-line speed can be utilized effectively.

Will LBMiddle LB
Best role

Year 1 rotational Will linebacker with the ceiling to develop into a starting Will or Mike linebacker.

Wrong fit

A two-gap 3-4 defense, where his lighter frame and lack of true anchor strength would be liabilities.

Bostic's athletic profile makes him a fit for schemes that prioritize speed and downhill play over raw power at the linebacker position.

04The evaluation

Selected #50 overall in Round 2 of the 2013 NFL Draft by Chicago Bears out of Florida.
