The 4-3 under scheme, epitomized by teams like the Seattle Seahawks or the hybrid fronts favored by the San Francisco 49ers during his tenure, would allow Blair to maximize his disruptive inside-out capabilities.
He projects as a rotational 5-technique defensive end or 3-technique defensive tackle immediately, with the ceiling to become a high-impact starter due to his versatility and motor.
A traditional 3-4 two-gap defense requiring a true nose tackle or a strictly speed-rushing 4-3 wide-9 role would not leverage his unique skill set.
Blair’s blend of power, technique, and motor makes him an excellent fit for schemes valuing versatile defensive linemen who can create pressure from multiple alignments.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
