02Scheme fit
Ideal system

One-gap 4-3 penetrating front with a focus on quick, disruptive interior linemen to collapse the pocket and generate pressure.

3-tech DT4i-DE5-tech DE
Best role

Year 1 rotational interior pass rusher, ceiling as a starting 3-technique in an attacking scheme.

Wrong fit

A two-gap 3-4 defense where his size and play style would be significantly undervalued.

Best utilized in a system that allows him to penetrate and disrupt, rather than holding the point of attack.
