Cover-3 match with primarily off-man and zone concepts, relying on versatility in the secondary to create complex looks.
Immediate special teams impact and rotational box safety, with the ceiling to develop into a starting strong safety in a Cover-3 heavy scheme.
Man-heavy schemes that frequently ask safeties to cover slot receivers or tight ends in isolation downfield.
Kearse's size and run-stopping ability are assets in a box safety role within a zone coverage scheme, but his straight-line speed is a concern in open-field man coverage.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
