Fangio's zone-heavy two-high defense, with its emphasis on versatility and coverage, would effectively utilize Gardner-Johnson's skill set.
Immediate starter as a versatile nickel defender who can blitz, cover the slot, and play in the box, with a ceiling as an All-Pro safety.
A purely single-high safety scheme where he is consistently asked to cover the deep third without much opportunity to play closer to the box or in the slot.
His blend of size, speed, and versatility makes him an ideal fit for modern NFL defenses that prioritize adaptable defensive backs capable of playing multiple roles.
