02Scheme fit
Ideal system
A one-gap 3-4 penetrating front that prioritizes quick, disruptive interior linemen to create pressure and stops gaps.
3-4 DE5-TechInterior pass rusher
Best role
Year 1 rotational interior pass rusher with potential to develop into a starting 3-4 DE.
Wrong fit
A two-gap 3-4 defensive end where his lack of ideal size and strength would hinder his ability to consistently anchor.
Franklin-Myers' explosive first step and agility make him a valuable asset in schemes that allow him to attack upfield rather than hold the point of attack.
