His playing style and physical attributes align well with a one-gap 4-3 penetrating front, emphasizing disruption and quickness over pure two-gap power.
He can immediately contribute as a rotational 3-technique player, with the ceiling to develop into a consistent starter due to his disruptive capabilities.
He would be a poor fit in a traditional 3-4 two-gap scheme where his primary responsibility would be to occupy blockers at the point of attack rather than penetrate.
His athleticism and disruptive playmaking ability make him a valuable asset for teams seeking an interior lineman who can consistently generate pressure.
Selected #18 overall in Round 1 of the 2011 NFL Draft by San Diego Chargers out of Illinois.
