02Scheme fit
Ideal system
A West Coast timing and route running based system that values versatility and blocking at all positions.
Y-TEIn-line blockerH-backSlot Blocker
Best role
Year 1 as a depth Y-TE and special teams contributor, with ceiling as a long-term starter at TE.
Wrong fit
Any pass-happy spread offense where he is asked to get open against smaller, quicker DBs.
Byham's value is derived from his blocking, which will make him a scheme-specific player despite his limitations in the passing game.
