I haven't watched enough film, but my initial reaction to the Packers drafting him, was there is only reason for it... blitz LB.

Which means they're planning on sticking with the more aggressive scheme that they finished the season with, instead of the more conservative one that they started last season with.

But I'm not sure he has the size for full time DE.

Though sounded like that's where they're starting him. So I figure he's probably the aggressive blitz backer.

Also, I think it's important to note that in 2023, he "was a hybrid weakside linebacker in former defensive coordinator Bryan Nardo's 3-3-5 base scheme, standing up as a wide edge and off-the-ball 'backer."

So he has some experience as a hybrid LB/DE.

And while the Packers are surely staying in the (4-3) 4-2 front, they're going to be running some 3-4 like scheme/principles out of the 4-2 look
