You find a spot for him. We arent sitting in a set where he's going to be put head up on a guard or whatever that much.
I think we need to start looming at both sides. Incredible athleticism but no stats. Don't knock him for it because we don't know why.
Stats but bad athlete? Well, until his athleticism starts causing no atats, don't knock him

I understand what you are saying, but the problem is, he's going to get absolutely swallowed whole by the 6'5", 330 lb. guards at the next level when having to hold up a center or tackle as well in addition to filling a passing lane.
It's simply just the physical limitations imposed by the system. Look how long it took Bailey, a guy who is three plus inches taller than Jarrett, to "get it" in terms of playing in a two gap system. (And Bailey is a physical force of nature. Insanely strong and was incredibly effective in pushing the pocket out of a 43 from the DT position. If I remember correctly, he led the Hurricanes in sacks three straight seasons.)
I just question what you are getting with Jarrett that we don't already have in Bailey and Catapano (strong like bulls) that's three/four inches shorter with shorter arms.
I like his game a lot, but just like Donald, I don't know if I see it ultimately working in what Sutton runs - especially the subsets.
