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.

You are going by PFF charting? Nose Tackle by alignment is only the 0-tech. 1-tech which is a tilted nose tackle is classified as a LDT or RDT (over or under alignments). Nose Tackle in general refers to the player eating the majority double teams in the A-Gaps no matter the alignment. DJ Reader was so good he could play a gap and a half from the 2i.
