Ben Gardner projects best as a rotational defensive end in a 4-3 one-gap penetrating front, leveraging his quickness and hand usage to disrupt opposing offensive lines.
Rotational pass-rusher in year one, with the potential to develop into a reliable starting 4-3 DE capable of setting the edge and generating interior pressure.
He would struggle significantly as a two-gapping 3-4 defensive end due to his lack of raw mass and power to consistently anchor against double teams.
Gardner's technical proficiency and motor make him a valuable asset in schemes prioritizing disruption and quickness over sheer size.
