Could a player like Zeke be used for elite pass rush?

I often wondered if someone like Zeke who has slowed but still explosive could be used as an elite occasional pass rusher? Would that RB burst and speed be used on the defense as an occasional special pass rusher?

Wondering if Parsons could be used on offense got me thinking about it. I only ever played DT in high school and was never really taught how to be elite at the role. I guess my coaches were not that great even though we did get to a championship my senior year and lose it.I was taught mostly just slants and try and get under or around blockers using my hands to rip at their jersey, so my knowledge of RB and what they could bring to a defense is even more limited.

What if old RB’s could get a second life as pass rushers? Small and quick could probably burst past some blocking?

he's fat, slow, and sitting on a pile of cash. his only goal right now is make whatever else he can doing as little as possible and retire with his fortune. Its not a coincidence that his drive stopped the day after his guaranteed contract was signed.
Can u imagine Emmitt sharing snaps with Sherwin Williams and not caring? Zeke has no drive and could care less Pollard now gets more accolades. Landry, Jimmy, Parcells would cut Zeke. Lets see what MM (sorry Jerry) does

Great idea
Let’s move Parsons to TB and Dak to TE while we’re at it
