02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Quanterus Smith projects best as a speed rusher and run defender in a 4-3 one-gap attacking front, leveraging his explosiveness to penetrate and disrupt backfields effectively.

Wide-9 rush DE5-technique DERush linebacker
Best role

Immediate situational pass rusher with upside as a starting 4-3 defensive end, maximizing his first-step quickness and motor.

Wrong fit

Two-gapping 3-4 defensive end, which would negate his primary strength as a penetrating, read-and-react disruptor and require a bulk-up that would sap his athleticism at 250 lbs.

A scheme that allows him to play downhill and attack will best utilize his natural athleticism and disruptive play style.
