Justin Ellis projects best as a run-stuffing defensive tackle in a 4-3 one-gap penetrating front, leveraging his size and strength to occupy blockers.
Year 1 rotational run defender, with a ceiling to develop into a starting 1-tech or nose tackle in a multiple front.
He would be a poor fit in a two-gap 3-4 defense that asks him to hold ground and stalemate.
While strong against the run, his limited pass-rushing upside restricts his fit to schemes prioritizing interior stoutness.
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.
