02Scheme fit
Ideal system
The Buffalo Bills' defense frequently employs a two-high safety look, allowing safeties to play both aggressive downhill in run support and versatile in coverage responsibilities.
Dual-threat SBox safetyDeep half S
Best role
Benford could realistically project as a versatile Year 1 special teamer and sub-package safety, with a ceiling as an eventual starting strong safety.
Wrong fit
A purely single-high safety scheme that demands consistent deep-middle coverage could expose his transitional speed and deep range limitations.
His physical playmaking ability and experience in varied coverage roles make him a scheme-versatile strong safety with substantial potential in Buffalo's defense.
