02Scheme fit
Ideal system

One-gap 4-3 penetrating front

Strong-side DE4-3 defensive endRush end
Best role

Rotational 4-3 defensive end with potential to develop into a B-gap penetrating starter.

Wrong fit

3-4 two-gap fronts where his lack of ideal bulk for consistent two-gapping would be exposed.

Kpassagnon projects as a player who can contribute immediately in a 4-3 system, using his length and burst to disrupt but requiring development to refine his pass-rush moves.

04The evaluation

Selected #59 overall in Round 2 of the 2017 NFL Draft by Kansas City Chiefs out of Villanova.
