02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Spread RPO passing and rushing scheme where receiver screens and quick rhythm passes are a featured component of the offense.

Best role

Immediate impact as a special teams returner with the potential to develop into a reliable slot receiver by his second season.

Wrong fit

Vertical isolation West Coast timing offense, which limits his transitional route tree.

Ayers' size and speed combination makes him best suited for a short to intermediate route tree in a system emphasizing quick-hitting plays and yards after the catch.
