02Scheme fit
Ideal system
Eric Johnson is a nose tackle prototype for a two-gapping 3-4 front due to his size, strength, and ability to hold the point of attack.
3-4 Nose Tackle0-tech1-tech
Best role
Rotational two-gap nose as a rookie with the upside to develop into a starting run-stuffing anchor.
Wrong fit
A one-gap penetrating 4-3 front that prioritizes quickness and disruption over raw power and stack-and-shed ability.
His ideal fit is a defense that values a true space-eater in the middle of their defensive line.
