The Tampa Bay Buccaneers utilize a Cover-2/Cover-3 hybrid defense, emphasizing zone coverage principles and strong run support from their defensive backs.
Dean projects as a Day 1 starting outside cornerback, with the ceiling to develop into a high-end starter capable of shadowing top receivers.
A purely man-to-man, trail technique scheme where his initial burst and fluidity in tight transitions would be constantly challenged.
His size, speed, and physicality make him an excellent fit in a zone-heavy scheme that values strong run defense and the ability to challenge receivers at the catch point.
Selected #94 overall in Round 3 of the 2019 NFL Draft by Tampa Bay Buccaneers out of Auburn.
