02Scheme fit
Ideal system
Ochaun Mathis projects best in an attacking 3-4 front that prioritizes athleticism and disruption from its edge defenders.
3-4 OLBStand-up DERUSH linebacker
Best role
He can contribute as a rotational pass rusher in Year 1, with the upside to develop into a starting 3-4 outside linebacker.
Wrong fit
A scheme that asks its edge defenders to consistently two-gap against the run would significantly diminish his value.
Mathis's athletic traits make him an intriguing prospect for specific defensive systems that can maximize his pass-rushing abilities.
