Josey Jewell is best suited for a downhill, gap-sound defensive scheme that prioritizes discipline and run-stopping ability over sideline-to-sideline speed.
Year 1 contributor as a two-down run-stuffing inside linebacker, with the ceiling to be a dependable, high-volume tackler in a traditional 4-3 or 3-4 defense.
A modern wide-open spread defense that frequently isolates linebackers in coverage against athletic pass-catching backs or tight ends.
Jewell's high football IQ and reliable tackling make him a valuable asset in the right system, despite athletic limitations.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
