02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Bates is an ideal fit for a 3-4 defense that prioritizes athletic linebackers capable of rushing the passer and playing in space.

3-4 OLBEdge RusherOutside rusherSpecial Teams Ace
Best role

Year 1 as a rotational pass rusher and core special teamer, with the ceiling to develop into a starting EDGE.

Wrong fit

He would struggle as a stacked, downhill linebacker in a 4-3 gap-controlling defense, as his block shedding and inside run defense need development.

His versatility as a pass rusher and athleticism make him a valuable asset for schemes that can utilize his strengths in space.
