02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Grady Jarrett is ideally suited for a one-gap 4-3 penetrating front, where his quickness and leverage can disrupt opposing run schemes and collapse the pocket efficiently.

3-tech DT1-gap 4-3 DTInterior Pass Rusher
Best role

He can immediately start as a disruptive 3-technique, with the ceiling to be a perennial Pro Bowl interior force.

Wrong fit

He would be a poor fit in a two-gap 3-4 scheme where he would be asked to consistently absorb double teams and occupy blockers rather than penetrate.

Jarrett's burst and power make him a prime candidate for schemes that prioritize upfield disruption from the defensive interior.
