02Scheme fit
Ideal system

A fluid tackler best suited for a Cover-3 match scheme that asks its linebackers to play in space and make plays sideline to sideline.

Will LBNickel LBDime LB
Best role

Year 1 special teams ace and rotational nickel linebacker, with the ceiling of a starting weak-side linebacker.

Wrong fit

Any two-gap scheme that asks him to regularly take on and shed blocks from interior linemen.

A classic undersized but athletic weak-side linebacker who wins with speed and coverage ability rather than power at the point of attack.
