02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Akeem King is a good fit for a Fangio-style two-high coverage scheme, specifically the single-high variant, where his range and tackling ability can be maximized in a deep safety role.

Single-high FSBox safetyDimebacker
Best role

Year 1 special teams ace and sub-package deep safety, with the ceiling to become a starting single-high free safety.

Wrong fit

A team running an aggressive man-heavy scheme that asks safeties to consistently lock up in man coverage against slot receivers or tight ends.

King's movement skills suggest he can play a range of deep safety alignments given the proper development, but his man coverage limitations are notable.
