02Scheme fit
Ideal system
SFO's Cover-3 match scheme emphasizes long, press corners who can carry vertical routes and play with excellent technique.
Boundary CBPress-man CBOutside CB
Best role
Year 1 rotational depth on the boundary with coverage ability, with a ceiling as a starting outside corner.
Wrong fit
A pure man-to-man scheme that asks him to guard quick-twitch receivers without safety help.
Castro-Fields fits well in a zone-heavy system where his length and speed can be leveraged in a Cover-3 or Cover-4 scheme.
