Johnathan Abram projects best in a Cover-1 man-heavy defense that prioritizes strong safety play near the line of scrimmage.
He can be a Year 1 starter as a box safety, with the ceiling to become an impact strong safety capable of covering tight ends and playing the run.
A Fangio-style two-high safety scheme that relies on deep zone coverage from its safeties would minimize Abram's strengths.
Abram's aggressive, downhill play style and physicality make him a natural fit for defenses that value a hybrid safety/linebacker role.
Selected #27 overall in Round 1 of the 2019 NFL Draft by Oakland Raiders out of Mississippi State.
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.
