Ideal system

Fangio-style two-high safety system that prioritizes versatility and range to defend modern passing offenses.

Free safetyStrong safetySlot defenderDimebacker
Best role

Year 1 contributor in sub-packages, ultimately developing into a versatile starting safety with coverage and run support capabilities.

Wrong fit

A purely single-high safety scheme where his average top-end speed would be exploited over the top.

Menzie's size and versatility make him a valuable piece in a scheme that values interchangeable defensive backs capable of playing multiple roles.
