Arnold Ebiketie's skill set as an edge rusher makes him a good fit for a 3-4 defense that prioritizes athletic pass rushers, or as a stand-up rusher in a 4-3 scheme.
Year 1: Situational pass rusher rotating in for obvious passing downs, offering quickness off the edge; Ceiling: Starting 3-4 SAM/OLB or 4-3 DE with consistent sack production.
A two-gap 3-4 defensive end role, which relies heavily on size and strength to hold the point of attack against run blocks.
Ebiketie's explosiveness and bend make him a strong fit for schemes that allow him to primarily attack the passer without significant two-gap responsibilities.
Selected #38 overall in Round 2 of the 2022 NFL Draft by Atlanta Falcons out of Penn State.
