02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The ideal defensive scheme for Anthony Zettel emphasizes a one-gap 4-3 attacking front with penetration and disruption as key components.

3-tech DT5-tech DERotational interior pass r
Best role

Zettel projects as a Year 1 rotational interior pass rusher with the potential to develop into a starting 3-technique in a penetrating front.

Wrong fit

He would be significantly marginalized in a two-gap 3-4 defense that requires him to consistently hold the point of attack against double teams.

His quickness and pass-rushing upside make him a valuable asset in schemes that prioritize upfield disruption from the interior line.
