Mauldin's best fit is in a 3-4 defense, where his size and athleticism can be leveraged in a variety of roles due to his versatility at defensive end and outside linebacker.
As a strong-side linebacker or rotational pass rusher Year 1, with the ceiling to develop into a full-time starter due to his ability to set the edge and generate pressure.
He would struggle as an inside linebacker in a 4-3 base defense due to his lack of true coverage instincts and his best impact being on the line of scrimmage.
Mauldin's build and burst are ideal for a scheme that prioritizes edge disruption and diverse blitz packages from a linebacker position.
Selected #82 overall in Round 3 of the 2015 NFL Draft by New York Jets out of Louisville.
