And he has high upside to where he can become an elite pass rusher. Long arms, extremely athletic, strong etc.
He's probably going to play all over the line once his career gets moving. I wouldn't pigeon hole him into either 3T or NT.
Let's say, hypothetically the Bengals view Kris as DJ Reader's replacement. DJ played 8 snaps per a game at NT last season for us. He only played 12 snaps per a game at NT in 2021. So DJ played the majority of his snaps as a 3T and not NT.
As far as his pass rush ability, I think he will eventually he will be a good pass rusher but not an elite pass rusher.
