02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The Atlanta Falcons primarily employ a hybrid Cover-3 and Cover-4 scheme, emphasizing versatile defensive backs who can play multiple roles in the secondary.

Free SafetyNickelbackDime Safety
Best role

Initially, Franks can contribute on special teams and as a rotational deep safety, with the ceiling to develop into a starting free safety capable of playing coverage or in the box.

Wrong fit

A man-heavy scheme that asks him to consistently cover slot receivers or tight ends in isolated man coverage on every down.

Franks' athleticism and coverage skills are a fit for a versatile secondary that values range and ball-hawking ability in a zone-heavy scheme.
