02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Cody Grimm's ideal system is a Cover-2 or Cover-3 defense that values instinctive playmaking over elite athletic traits at the safety position.

Strong SafetyBox SafetyDimebacker
Best role

Immediate special teams ace with potential to develop into a rotational box safety by Year 2, eventually competing for a starting strong safety role.

Wrong fit

A Fangio two-high defense that disproportionately prioritizes rangy, cerebral safeties over physical run support.

Cody Grimm projects as a gritty, high-effort safety who can contribute early on special teams and carve out a niche as a run-support specialist in the right defensive scheme.
