02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The Browns utilize a multiple defensive scheme, primarily featuring a one-gap 4-3 penetrating front with extensive blitzing and stunts.

Weakside DE4-3 OLBEdge rusherSpecial teams ace
Best role

Avery projects as a rotational pass rusher and special teams contributor in year one, with the potential to develop into a starting weakside linebacker capable of setting the edge and impacting passing lanes.

Wrong fit

A true two-gap 3-4 defensive end or an inside linebacker in a system that requires significant coverage responsibilities.

Avery's athleticism and pass-rush acumen make him a valuable asset in an attacking 4-3 defense that prioritizes disruption and speed off the edge.
