The Minnesota Vikings run a Fangio-style two-high safety system that prioritizes versatility, tackling, and coverage skills in their defensive backs.
Year 1: Versatile backup safety playing on special teams, with eventual ceiling as starting box safety and slot defender.
A purely single-high free safety system that asks him to play exclusively in the deep middle.
Exum's size and tackling ability make him a good fit for a defense that values strong run support from its safeties, while his versatility allows him to cover slot receivers or tight ends.
