02Scheme fit
Ideal system

System: The Eagles ran a spread option scheme featuring inside zone and outside zone running plays.

Best role

Dion Lewis could be an immediate contributor as a change-of-pace back and third-down specialist, eventually developing into a complementary starter.

Wrong fit

Lewis's value would be diminished in a power-run schematic where he is frequently asked to run between the tackles against stacked boxes.

Lewis projects as a versatile asset thriving in systems that prioritize agility, receiving skills, and open-field running over raw power.
