DeMarcus Van Dyke's exceptional deep speed and straight-line ability are best utilized in a Cover-3 match scheme that emphasizes press-man coverage and bail techniques on the outside.
Year 1: Starting outside corner providing deep coverage, primarily in a Cover-3 system; Ceiling: lockdown boundary corner.
He would be a poor fit for a nickel-heavy slot defender role or an intricate zone coverage scheme that requires extensive pattern reading and quick, fluid change-of-direction in confined spaces.
A raw prospect whose elite speed and height make him a scheme-specific asset, particularly in defenses favoring single-high safety looks and aggressive press coverage against vertical threats.
Selected #81 overall in Round 3 of the 2011 NFL Draft by Oakland Raiders out of Miami (FL).
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.
