02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Josh Hull best projects into a Cover-3 match scheme, aligning with teams that prioritize intelligent, albeit less athletic, linebackers in zone coverage.

WILL linebackerDime package LBSpecial teams ace
Best role

Hull could see early snaps as a nickel or dime package coverage linebacker, with a ceiling as a reliable, high-IQ WILL in a zone-heavy scheme.

Wrong fit

He would struggle immensely in a blitz-heavy, man-to-man coverage scheme where his athletic limitations would be consistently exposed.

Hull's strong understanding of zone principles makes him a viable fit for teams that value intelligence and positioning over raw speed at the linebacker position.
