02Scheme fit
Ideal system
Fangio two-high
boundary safetyrobberbox safetynickel/dimebacker
Best role
Rotational, sub-package safety with special teams responsibilities early on, developing into an eventual starting strong safety.
Wrong fit
1-high safety roles in Cover 1 or Cover 3 defenses requiring extensive deep post-snap reads.
A versatile safety with the size and athleticism to contribute in multiple two-high packages, especially as a box defender or robber, but lacks the deep range for single-high schemes.
