02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Fangio two-high schemes that prioritize versatility and coverage skills from the safety position would be an excellent fit for Jalen Mills.

Free SafetyStrong Safety
Best role

Mills projects as a versatile depth piece in year one with the potential to develop into a starting Nickel or boundary safety.

Wrong fit

Teams that ask safeties to consistently play in the box and provide run support will diminish his effectiveness.

His athleticism and coverage instincts make him a good fit for modern pass-happy NFL offenses while providing good depth for several positions.
