02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Covington fits best in an aggressive, one-gap 4-3 penetrating front, or a 3-4 defense that emphasizes quick penetration from its defensive linemen.

3-tech DT1-tech DT5-tech DE (3-4)
Best role

Year 1 rotational interior pass rusher with upside to develop into a starting 3-technique.

Wrong fit

Two-gapping 3-4 defenses that ask their defensive linemen to consistently hold the point of attack and occupy blockers for linebackers.

Covington's quickness and pass-rush ability make him an asset in schemes that prioritize upfield disruption from their defensive tackles.
