02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Christian Sam is best suited for Fangio's Cover-2/Cover-4/Quarters system due to his versatility in coverage, blitzing, and excellent read-and-react skills.

Will LBNickel LBDime LBCover-2 Hook
Best role

Rotational coverage/blitzing LB Year 1, with ceiling to develop into a starting weakside or nickel LB.

Wrong fit

Gap/duo power run games that require sustained blocks and an elite run-stuffing presence from his position.

His athleticism and coverage acumen make him a good fit for modern NFL schemes that prioritize versatility at the linebacker position.
