He's ideally suited for a one-gap 4-3 penetrating front, relying on quickness and strength to disrupt opposing offenses at the line of scrimmage.
Year 1 starter at defensive end with All-Pro ceiling, capable of high-volume pass rush and run stuffing.
Would be a poor fit in a two-gapping 3-4 front where his pass-rushing prowess would be underutilized.
His athleticism and powerful frame make him a versatile and impactful defender in a variety of alignments within a penetrating scheme.
Selected #6 overall in Round 1 of the 2015 NFL Draft by New York Jets out of USC.
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.
