Kareem's skill set makes him an ideal fit for new head coach Frank Reich's 3-4 defense where he can play as a standup end or rush from the inside on passing downs.
With fellow 2017 draftee Quenton Nelson already entrenched at left tackle, Kareem will likely need to beat out veterans Antonio Morrison and Jabaal Sheard for a starting role in Indianapolis this season.
