02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Detroit's defensive scheme is a multiple front, attacking 4-3 defense, frequently utilizing a wide-9 alignment to generate pressure.

Wide-9 DE3-tech DT5-tech DE
Best role

Rotational interior pass rusher with potential to develop into a starting 3-technique.

Wrong fit

A traditional two-gap 3-4 defense would minimize his athletic advantages and lean into his lower-body power limitations.

Ledbetter's versatility and athleticism make him a good fit for Detroit's aggressive, pressure-oriented defensive line.
