The Fangio two-high system prioritizes versatile strong safeties who can contribute in run support and coverage, using their instincts to make plays from various depths.
Carroll projects as a Year 1 contributor in sub-packages, with the ceiling to develop into a starting strong safety.
He would be a poor fit in a single-high Cover 1 scheme that demands a true centerfield free safety. His effectiveness would decline as a primarily deep safety without opportunities to play closer to the line of scrimmage.
A scheme that can leverage his athleticism and physicality in both run support and coverage, while minimizing exposure in deep single-high responsibilities, will maximize his potential.
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.
