02Scheme fit
Ideal system
The Giants' 4-3 under front emphasizes strong, athletic defensive ends capable of setting the edge and generating interior pressure.
4-3 DE5-techniqueStrong-side DE
Best role
Year 1 rotational pass rusher who can develop into a starting 4-3 strong-side defensive end.
Wrong fit
A 3-4 two-gap scheme would diminish his value, as his athleticism is best utilized in an attacking role.
Odighizuwa's combination of size, strength, and speed is well-suited for the Giants' defensive scheme, allowing him to contribute early as a pass rusher and run defender.
04The evaluation
Selected #74 overall in Round 3 of the 2015 NFL Draft by New York Giants out of UCLA.
