02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Devante Mays is an ideal fit for a zone-heavy run scheme that emphasizes versatility and downhill running.

One-cut Zone RunnerPower BackThird-down Back (potential
Best role

Initially, Mays could serve as a valuable rotational or short-yardage back, with the ceiling to develop into a significant contributor as a primary zone runner.

Wrong fit

He would be a poor fit in a pass-heavy, spread offense that prioritizes receiving backs and open-field elusiveness over power and downhill running.

His blend of power and straight-line speed makes him a good schematic fit for teams looking for a reliable, tough runner.
