Cover-3 match and quarters two-high safety system that prioritizes versatility, ball skills, and range over downhill thumping ability.
Immediate special teams contributor with a ceiling as a starting free safety, or a sub-package slot/dime defender against spread offenses.
A strong safety role in a traditional 4-3 scheme that demands consistent box play and run support.
Dowling's athleticism and coverage abilities make him a good fit for modern pass-happy NFL schemes.
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.
