5 stats to know about Chicago Bears new DL Larry Ogunjobi

4. Larry Ogunjobi can move around Chicago Bears defensive line

One thing to note about Larry Ogunjobi is that he can and has played up and down the line. He often lives between the guard and center, but even in that regard, he can bounce around from over the left guard to over the right guard, everywhere in between.

For his career, Larry Ogunjobi spent 58.5% of his snaps in the B-Gap, which is between the guard and tackle. He spent 27,4% in the A-Gap, which is between the center and guard. Then he spent 13.2% of his snaps over the tackle, and 1% outside on the edge.

The Bengals used him a bit differently, and that may be how you expect to see him in Chicago.

Last season he spent 62% of his snaps in the B-Gap and just 6.6% in the A-Gap. He spent 13.2% of his career snaps over the tackle, but 27.% of his snaps in 2021 came there.

Lastly, Ogunjobi moves from left to right. he spent 64% of his snaps in 2021 over the left guard, and 35% over the right guard. In 2020, it was 56% over the left guard, and 35% over the right guard, with more snaps coming at nose tackle.

Still, the Chicago Bears have not usually done this with their defensive line. For instance, Akiem Hicks spent 90% of his snaps last season against the right guard. Bilal Nichols was exclusively matched up with the left guard. For Ogunjobi, he moves around much more, and it makes you assume the coaches will move their defensive lineman around more as well.
