02Scheme fit
Ideal system

This prospect is ideally suited for a Cover-3 match or Cover-2 zone-heavy defense, where his vision and instincts can be leveraged against the pass.

Boundary SafetyDimebackerBox Safety
Best role

Gerry projects as a Year 1 special teams contributor with the ceiling of a rotational strong safety, effectively covering tight ends and playing near the line of scrimmage.

Wrong fit

He would struggle in a man-heavy defense, particularly one that asks safeties to frequently cover slot receivers or true boundary wideouts.

Gerry's skill set aligns best with defenses that prioritize zone coverage and allow safeties to read and react rather than consistently play in close man coverage.
