Durden was often stuck at a zero-technique nose tackle spot but is more likely to be considered as an even-front three-technique at the next level. His body control and contact balance are often spotty due to his upright playing style, but he finds ways to recover and get himself back in the play. He’s good at locating the football and hustles hard to chase the play down, but Durden lacks the ability to control the point of attack or consistently disrupt NFL blocking schemes.
