Timmy Jernigan's skill set as an interior defensive lineman is best utilized in a one-gap 4-3 penetrating front that prioritizes disruption and quickness over pure two-gapping strength.
He can immediately contribute as a rotational pass rusher and eventual starter at 3-technique, with potential to develop into a Pro Bowl interior disruptor.
His value diminishes significantly in a two-gap 3-4 system that asks defensive linemen to absorb blocks and hold the point of attack for extended periods.
Jernigan's quickness and motor make him an ideal fit for schemes that want interior linemen to actively penetrate and create havoc in the backfield.
Selected #48 overall in Round 2 of the 2014 NFL Draft by Baltimore Ravens out of Florida State.
