SMU
Lawler is a good fit in a one-gap 4-3 penetrating front, relying on his burst and hand usage to disrupt opposing offenses.
He can contribute as a rotational pass rusher in his rookie year, with the ceiling to become a quality starting edge defender.
His value will diminish significantly in a two-gap 3-4 scheme, where his strength and size are less advantageous.
His athletic profile and motor make him a viable option for teams seeking a high-effort, impactful pass rusher in a defensive end role.
