He says he has been a run stopper as well with the Jets when they were one of the best run stopping Defenses in the league.

So he is not just a pass rusher which is awesome. I wanted Rankins before we got him, but I love the signing much more after listening
to him talk. He likes to get into QB's heads and he talks a lot of shit, him being reunited with Trey will be some fun times. Between BJ
Hill and Sheldon Rankins we have some characters at DT now lol

IIRC, when he came out of Louisville as a prospect, some if not all draft eval services listed him as a NT.  

Oddly, some list Byron Murphy as a NT as well.  There are a few that even believe that it's his best position.

Mass and weight help, but it's not everything when it comes to the position.
