02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The Detroit Lions' offensive scheme is a run-heavy, play-action based system focused on a gap/duo power run game, primarily featuring inside zone and counter.

FB/H-backLead blockerSpecial teams ace
Best role

Year 1 as a veteran lead blocker and core special teamer, eventually becoming a short-yardage and goal-line option.

Wrong fit

An Air Raid or pass-heavy spread RPO offense that rarely utilizes a dedicated fullback.

Bawden's strength as a lead blocker and his prowess on special teams make him a valuable, albeit niche, asset within a power run scheme.
