The Packers' 3-4 two-gap defense relies on defensive linemen to control gaps and allow linebackers to flow freely to the ball.
Year 1 rotational depth on the defensive line, with the ceiling to develop into a starting 5-technique.
A wide-9 attacking front that emphasizes speed and penetration over raw power and two-gapping ability.
Boyd's size and strength make him a natural fit for a two-gap system where he can anchor against the run.
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.
