3-4 two-gap fronts that prioritize powerful, long-levered edge setters, enabling versatile blitz packages and a complex defensive structure.
Immediate rotational pass rusher and edge setter with the potential to develop into a high-impact, three-down outside linebacker.
A traditional 4-3 Cover 2 defense that asks its edge rushers to consistently drop into coverage without significant blitz opportunities.
His size, speed, and proven pass-rushing ability make him a strong fit for schemes that value disruptive, athletic edge players.
Selected #22 overall in Round 1 of the 2015 NFL Draft by Pittsburgh Steelers out of Kentucky.
