02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Blake Cashman is best suited for Fangio's two-high safety system or a Cover-3 match scheme, where his speed and coverage abilities can be maximized in space.

Will LinebackerDimebackerSpecial Teams Ace
Best role

Cashman projects as a Year 1 special teams starter with the potential to develop into a rotational coverage linebacker and occasional starter.

Wrong fit

He would be a poor fit for a gap-heavy 3-4 two-gap scheme that prioritizes shedding blocks and downhill power over sideline-to-sideline range.

His athleticism and coverage skills make him a valuable asset in modern defenses that prioritize speed and versatility against the pass.
