02Scheme fit
Ideal system

John Urschel's skill set and measurable traits would be best utilized within a gap/duo power run blocking scheme that prioritizes strength at the point of attack for offensive guards.

Left GuardRight GuardPower Scheme OG
Best role

Year 1 starter as a physical interior run blocker with the ceiling to be a long-term anchor in a power running attack.

Wrong fit

An outside zone heavy scheme where quickness and agility to reach/cut off defenders are prioritized over raw power.

Urschel projects as a powerful interior lineman best suited for a system leveraging his strength and run-blocking prowess in a gap or duo scheme.
