02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Marcus Hardison fits best in a power run-stopping 3-4 defense that prioritizes gap control and a strong interior line presence.

5-technique DE3-4 DE2-gap run stuffer
Best role

Year 1 rotational 5-technique DE with the ceiling to become a full-time starter who excels at setting the edge and holding his ground against double teams.

Wrong fit

He would struggle significantly in a Wide-9 attacking front that requires consistent disruption and quick pass-rushing moves.

His size and strength are optimized for schemes where he can anchor and control multiple gaps, rather than schemes focused on penetration and explosive burst.
