Shaquem Griffin's athletic profile aligns best with a modern, attacking 4-3 defense that prioritizes speed and versatility at the linebacker position to cover ground and disrupt passing lanes.
Year 1 core special teams player and sub-package pass rusher, eventually developing into an every-down WILL linebacker in a speed-based defensive scheme.
He would be a poor fit in a traditional 3-4 two-gap scheme where his size and strength as an interior run defender would be major liabilities.
His unique athletic traits necessitate a creative defensive mind who can leverage his speed and pass-rushing ability while mitigating concerns about his size and traditional run-stuffing capabilities.
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.
