The Seahawks' Cover 3-based defense, known for its emphasis on long, rangy defensive backs, prioritizes players who can excel in zone coverage and provide strong run support from the secondary.
Initially a rotational safety and core special teams contributor, Simon possesses the range and physicality to develop into a starting free safety, excelling in deep zone responsibilities.
Man-heavy schemes that demand consistent tight man coverage against diverse receiver types would expose his limitations.
Simon's length and athleticism make him a natural fit for a Cover-3 defense, allowing him to play effectively in space and utilize his physicality against the run.
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.
