O'Connor.
Eastern Michigan
The ideal schematic fit for O'Connor would be a 4-3 one-gap penetrating front that prioritizes quickness and disruption over raw power at the defensive end position.
He can immediately contribute as a rotational pass rusher and run defender with the potential to develop into a starting defensive end.
He would be a poor fit for a two-gap 3-4 scheme due to his size and strength limitations.
O'Connor's primary value comes from his burst and motor, making him a good fit for aggressive, attacking defensive fronts where he can play downhill.
