02Scheme fit
Ideal system
A good fit for a multiple 4-3 defense with heavy blitzing and man coverage secondary, playing primarily into the offensive backfield.
Will LBNickel LBStack LBBox Safety
Best role
Year 1 coverage specialist with potential to develop into a three-down nickel or weakside backer.
Wrong fit
Two-gap run heavy fronts or defenses without sufficient athletic support in second level.
Will be best utilized in schemes that allow him to play downhill and leverage his coverage athleticism rather than schemes that require him to consistently stack and shed bigger blockers.
