Acho projects best in a 4-3 Cover 2 defensive scheme that prioritizes athletic linebackers who can flow to the ball and cover ground, rather than engage in extended power-run situations.
Initially a rotational special teams contributor and sub-package linebacker, eventually developing into a starting weakside linebacker with good zone coverage ability.
He would struggle significantly in a two-gap 3-4 system where his primary responsibility would be to hold ground against interior blockers.
Acho's athleticism and coverage skills make him a valuable asset in schemes that minimize his need to shed blocks against powerful offensive linemen.
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.
