Ben Heeney projects best in a 4-3 Cover-3 zone scheme that prioritizes athletic linebackers capable of covering ground and making plays in space.
Heeney can be a Year 1 contributor on special teams and develop into a reliable, athletic weak-side linebacker who excels in pass coverage.
A 3-4 two-gap scheme would be a poor fit, as his size and play style are not conducive to consistently taking on and shedding larger blockers.
His athleticism and coverage skills make him a valuable asset for schemes that want a versatile linebacker to defend against modern passing attacks.
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.
