02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Nate Ebner is best suited for Fangio two-high, which prioritizes strong safety play, zone coverage skills, and disciplined run support from the secondary.

Strong SafetyBox SafetyDimebackerSpecial Teamer
Best role

Year 1 as a core special teams player who can develop into a rotational backup safety with the potential for spot starts.

Wrong fit

A scheme that asks its safeties to play a lot of single-high coverage and handle extensive man-to-man responsibilities against tight ends or slot receivers.

Ebner's high football IQ, tackling prowess, and special teams value make him an asset in a two-high system, despite his limited coverage range.
