02Scheme fit
Ideal system

DeJon Gomes best fits a Cover-3 match or any two-high safety system that values versatility, zone coverage skills, and playmaking ability from the deep secondary.

Free safetyStrong safetySlot defender
Best role

Year 1 rotational safety and special teams ace, with the ceiling to develop into a starting free safety able to cover ground and make plays.

Wrong fit

Any single-high heavy scheme requiring a true centerfielder with elite deep speed.

Gomes' versatility in both zone and man coverage, coupled with his willingness in run support, makes him an appealing fit for schemes prioritizing flexible defensive backs.
