Cover-2/Cover-3 hybrid with a focus on strong safety run support and zone coverage ability.
Julian Blackmon's ideal role is a starting strong safety capable of playing in the box, providing run support, and excelling in zone coverage schemes, with a ceiling as a key defensive playmaker.
He would be a poor fit for a single-high safety system that demands extreme sideline-to-sideline range and man coverage responsibilities against slot receivers.
Blackmon projects best to a defense that emphasizes his instincts, tackling, and versatility in varied zone coverages, allowing him to be a disruptive force close to the line of scrimmage.
Selected #85 overall in Round 3 of the 2020 NFL Draft by Indianapolis Colts out of Utah.
