02Scheme fit
Ideal system
Scheme-versatile edge defender with experience in both 3-4 and 4-3 schemes, capable of strong-side or weak-side duties.
3-4 OLB4-3 DEWide-9 pass rusher
Best role
Year 1 rotational pass rusher who develops into an impact starter with double-digit sack potential.
Wrong fit
Two-gap 3-4 defensive end where his athleticism would be wasted.
Chaisson provides an interesting option for teams looking for an athletic developmental pass-rushing talent off the edge with scheme versatility.
