I’ve seen a lot of this floated around, so I want to say it upfront:
Eyioma Uwazurike was not drafted to compete with the Mike Purcell at nose tackle. That’s what D.J. Jones is for.
Ideally, Uwazurike replaces Shelby Harris’s role as your starting 5T with the ability to kick inside to be a 1T/shaded nose, but he’s not your full-time nose in the sense of what Purcell is. He’s also not an EDGE, despite being labeled as a DE and everybody quoting his sack total from last year.
