When looking out how to use Fowler a very good comparison for him is Tamba Hali. Very similar athletes. Tamba played some DT in college like Fowler, then played as a DE with the Chiefs before moving to a 3-4 pass rushing role where he flourished. The Chiefs used to blitz him from the A gaps, outside , where he could be best used. He wasn't very explosive or fast (combine testing wise, he had a 30 inch vert and 7.28 3 cone, albeit he was 10 pounds heavier than Fowler) but had a great motor, strong hands and developed into a great pass rusher when used to the best of his abilities.
