The 49ers' Cover-3 match zone defense, emphasizing disciplined coverage and tackling from their cornerbacks.
Redmond projects as a Year 1 nickel or boundary corner, with the ceiling to develop into a reliable starting outside cornerback.
A man-heavy scheme that asks him to regularly cover larger, more physical outside receivers without safety help.
His athleticism and tackling prowess make him a good fit for a zone-heavy system where he can contribute immediately in run support.
Selected #68 overall in Round 3 of the 2016 NFL Draft by San Francisco 49ers out of Mississippi State.
