Projection Tiers:
Starter / Likely Starter / Potential Starter / Likely Backup / Backup

IDL Scheme Fits:
2-Down: Excels in run defense while also not a traditional nose tackle due to size and/or strength. Likely best utilized as a 2 technique to a 4i. Likely to struggle generating pass rush due to a lack of any combination of getoff, power, athleticism, or technique.

Pass Rusher: Typically an explosive player who lacks discipline vs the run, best used on passing downs to help create pressure. May also be a player with poor getoff and plus quickness to be utilized as a tactiful finnesse interior rusher.

Nose Tackle*: Traditional plodding nose tackle good for eating blocks in run defense and swallowing backs who enter their lane.

Hybrid DE*: Tweener type best utilized as a Defensive End in a traditional 3-4 scheme. Smaller and quicker than traditional IDL to the point that the player may be best used as an early down EDGE player in 4-3 schemes. May have any combination of length, quality ability to defend the run, power rushing skills, and finnesse rushing skills.

*Not included in a player's designation as "Any" Scheme fit.
