DeMarcus Lawrence's skill set and physical traits are best utilized within a flexible 4-3 defense emphasizing a one-gap penetrating front that allows defensive ends to play downhill and attack.
Initially, he could contribute as a rotational pass rusher and run defender with the potential to develop into a high-impact, three-down starting defensive end.
A traditional 3-4 two-gap scheme would diminish his effectiveness significantly due to its emphasis on holding gaps rather than attacking.
His athleticism and burst make him an ideal fit for schemes that prioritize disruption in the backfield over anchor responsibilities.
Selected #34 overall in Round 2 of the 2014 NFL Draft by Dallas Cowboys out of Boise State.
