Ideal system

Best role

Immediate special teams ace with the versatility to develop into a starting free safety able to play deep halves.

Wrong fit

Single-high safety where his average deep speed and size would be exploited in coverage.

Nixon's instincts and quickness make him an ideal fit for a two-high safety system that values zone coverage and run support from the secondary.
