Cover-2 base defense with zone principles and an emphasis on preventing big plays, often seen in the Lovie Smith-era Chicago Bears.
As Conte progresses in his career, he has the potential to develop into a starting deep safety in a two-high system.
Man-heavy schemes that demand consistent one-on-one coverage against slot receivers or tight ends.
Conte's best fit is in systems prioritizing sound zone coverage and minimizing deep pass threats with disciplined play.
Selected #93 overall in Round 3 of the 2011 NFL Draft by Chicago Bears out of California.
