Sheldon Day projects as a rotational interior defensive lineman in a one-gap 4-3 penetrating front, relying on quickness and disruption.
Initially a rotational interior pass rusher and run defender; ceiling as a quality starting 3-technique.
He would be a poor fit in a true two-gapping 3-4 front, as his size and play style are not suited for holding the point of attack.
Day's quickness and motor make him an attractive option for schemes that prioritize upfield disruption from their defensive tackles.
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.
