Fangio two-high, a defense emphasizing zone coverage, split-safety looks, and disciplined run support with a focus on limiting explosive plays.
Larry Asante could enter as a rotational, two-high safety in year one, with the potential to develop into a reliable deep-half safety and box defender.
A man-heavy scheme that regularly asks its safeties to cover slot receivers or tight ends in isolated man-to-man situations given his 4.62 forty.
His physical play and willingness to tackle make him a good fit for a split-safety scheme that values strong run support from its safeties.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
