The Seattle Seahawks' defensive system is rooted in a Cover-3 match scheme, emphasizing long, athletic defensive backs who can excel in zone coverage with strong tackling ability.
Year 1 as a rotational safety and special teams ace with the ceiling to develop into a starting free safety in a single-high dominant scheme.
He would be a poor fit in a man-heavy defense that frequently asks safeties to cover slot receivers or tight ends in isolated man coverage.
Maxwell's ideal fit is in a zone-heavy system like Seattle's, where his length and speed are maximized and his coverage limitations minimized.
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.
