02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The ideal system for Fleming emphasizes a Cover-3 match scheme, aligning his talents perfectly with a system that values strong zone defenders with good top-end speed.

Boundary CBSlot CB
Best role

He can immediately contribute as a nickel corner and eventually develop into a starting boundary corner in a zone-heavy scheme.

Wrong fit

Man-heavy schemes that force him into constant trail technique against shifty receivers would diminish his effectiveness and expose his athletic limitations.

Fleming is a scheme-specific player whose physical traits and on-field performance are best-suited for zone-heavy defenses that allow him to read and react, rather than consistently cover man-to-man.

04The evaluation

Selected #80 overall in Round 3 of the 2012 NFL Draft by Arizona Cardinals out of Oklahoma.
