02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The Chargers run a variation of the Fangio two-high safety system, emphasizing zone coverage and strong communication in the secondary.

Best role

Year 1 could involve special teams while developing as a 'centerfielder' safety with sideline-to-sideline range, eventually becoming a full-time deep safety.

Wrong fit

A man-heavy scheme where he's consistently isolated in man coverage against shifty slot receivers or tight ends.

Woods' elite speed and range are a perfect fit for a zone-heavy system like the Chargers, allowing him to play over the top and make plays on the ball.

04The evaluation

Selected #79 overall in Round 3 of the 2022 NFL Draft by Los Angeles Chargers out of Baylor.
