02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Fangio two-high scheme that emphasizes versatility in safeties, allowing them to play multiple positions and execute complex coverage rotations.

Strong SafetyBox SafetyDimebackerSlot Coverage
Best role

Immediate special teams contributor and sub-package strong safety, with the potential to develop into a reliable starter within two years.

Wrong fit

3-4 two-gap fronts that ask safeties to consistently fill aggressively against power run schemes without adequate support.

A versatile safety with good size and athletic traits, Watson projects best in a scheme that values interchangeable secondary pieces and isn't overly reliant on a single-high safety.
