02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The Bears run a Cover-2/Cover-3 hybrid defense, emphasizing strong safety play near the box and single-high versatility from the free safety.

Strong SafetyBox SafetySpecial Teams AceDimebacker
Best role

As a strong safety, Houston-Carson would initially contribute as a core special teamer while developing into a reliable depth piece, eventually vying for a starting strong safety role due to his tackling prowess and dependability.

Wrong fit

He would struggle in a pure single-high free safety role that demands extensive range and coverage versatility.

His size, tackling ability, and football intelligence make him a valuable special teams contributor with the potential to be a rotational strong safety in a two-high safety system.
