John Ridgeway fits best in a two-gap 3-4 defense or a one-gap 4-3 scheme that prioritizes a strong run-stuffing interior presence.
Immediate rotational run defender with the ceiling to develop into a starting nose tackle capable of anchoring the defensive line in short-yardage and goal-line situations.
A sub-package, pass-rush focused 4-3 defense where his impact would be limited due to his lack of explosive pass-rushing traits.
Ridgeway's size and run-stuffing ability make him an asset for teams looking to control the line of scrimmage, but his limited pass-rushing upside restricts his fit in schemes heavily reliant on interior pressure.
