02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The ideal fit for Christian would be a diverse spread offense that leverages the entire field to create space for underneath routes and run-pass options.

Move TEH-backSlot TEF-TE
Best role

Initially, Christian projects as a versatile backup tight end and H-back, with a ceiling to develop into a reliable, short-to-intermediate receiving option.

Wrong fit

He would struggle in a pure power running scheme that relies heavily on tight ends to consistently execute in-line blocking against larger defensive ends and linebackers.

Christian's athletic profile and receiving skills are best utilized in a scheme that can exploit mismatches and allow him to operate in space rather than as a traditional in-line blocker.
