Josh Uche projects best in a versatile, attacking 3-4 defense that prioritizes athletic linebackers capable of generating pressure and covering ground.
He can contribute immediately as a situational pass rusher and special teams contributor, with the ceiling to become a disruptive every-down outside linebacker.
He would be significantly marginalized in a primarily two-gap 3-4 system that demands more traditional hand-in-the-dirt defensive end responsibilities.
Uche's high motor and burst make him a valuable asset in schemes designed to maximize his pass-rushing prowess and open-field playmaking ability.
Selected #60 overall in Round 2 of the 2020 NFL Draft by New England Patriots out of Michigan.
