02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Dion Sims projects as a fit for a pro-style offense employing multiple tight end sets, particularly favoring formations that emphasize power running and play-action concepts.

In-line Y-TEMove TE (H-back)Wing blocker
Best role

His Year 1 role projects as a rotational blocking tight end, eventually developing into a starting 'Y' tight end capable of contributing in both run and pass concepts.

Wrong fit

A spread RPO scheme that relies heavily on athletic, receiving tight ends would diminish his blocking prowess and limited pass-catching upside.

Sims' size and athletic profile position him as a classic in-line tight end with the potential to be a strong contributor in the run game.
