Jelks projects best as a LEO defensive end in an attacking 4-3 front, where his length and athleticism can be leveraged to disrupt passing lanes and pressure the quarterback from the edge.
Jelks could contribute immediately as a rotational pass rusher and eventual starter, with his ceiling as a disruptive, every-down edge defender.
A traditional two-gap 3-4 defense would neutralize his primary assets, requiring him to play with more power than he possesses.
Jelks's lean frame and explosive first step make him an ideal fit for schemes that prioritize speed and agility off the edge.
