Cameron Smith would excel in a 4-3 Cover-3 match defense, where his instinct and physicality can be leveraged against the run and short-to-intermediate passes.
Year 1 contributor as a two-down run-thumper and eventual full-time starter who can command the defense.
He would struggle immensely in a Tampa 2 scheme that demands extensive deep zone coverage from its linebackers.
Smith's success is tied to schemes that mitigate his average athleticism, emphasizing his downhill tackling and leadership.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
