02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Terrell Edmunds projects best in a hybrid Cover-3 or Cover-2 system that allows for split-field responsibilities and leveraging his size in run support.

Hybrid SBig NickelBox SSDeep half safety
Best role

Year 1 starter as a strong safety capable of playing near the line of scrimmage, with the ceiling to develop into an impactful playmaker in a multi-faceted secondary.

Wrong fit

A pure single-high free safety scheme where his coverage range is consistently tested over the top.

Edmunds' versatility and athleticism make him an asset in schemes that value a physical presence in the box and a reliable presence in short-to-intermediate coverage.

04The evaluation
