02Scheme fit
Ideal system
West Coast vertical routes
X-receiverSplit end
Best role
Year 1 deep threat and red zone guy, with ceiling as a WR2/3.
Wrong fit
Pure-option RPOs, where quickness and route diversity are prioritized over vertical speed.
A team with a strong run game that needs to take the top off the defense and create explosive plays will value Malone.
