02Scheme fit
Ideal system
Yeast is a defensive back best suited for a quarters or two-high safety system that prioritizes versatility and interchangeability in the secondary.
boundary safetynickel backdimebackerbox safety
Best role
Initially a valuable special teams contributor and rotational safety, with the ceiling to develop into a starting strong safety capable of covering tight ends and playing the run.
Wrong fit
A predominant single-high safety scheme that would expose his limitations in deep centerfield coverage and range.
His hybrid skill set makes him a valuable asset in schemes that blend safety and nickel duties, allowing for diverse defensive looks.
