There is no NT in a 4-3 defense. Only 3-4 defenses have a NT. That's why he projects as a high draft pick because more & more NFL teams are switching to the 3-4, & line clogging fat ass DL are hard to find.
That is the only job of those guys,clog up the middle,take on double teams, & free up the linebackers to make all the plays.f they make a tackle, that's a bonus. Look at the Steelers, their LB's are constantly at the top of the league in tackles & sacks, & have been for years since they switched to a 3-4. A 3-4 also helps disguise where the blitz is coming from, i.e. the Ravens,Jets,Steelers.
Let's hope JC knows where they come from saturday.
