Bernard is a versatile linebacker who projects best in a 4-3 scheme that asks its linebackers to be athletic and cover sideline to sideline.
Immediate special teams impact, with starter upside as a weakside linebacker in a 4-3 defense.
He would struggle in a traditional two-gap 3-4 defense where he is asked to consistently take on and shed offensive linemen.
Bernard's athleticism and coverage ability make him a good fit for modern NFL defenses that prioritize speed and versatility at the linebacker position.
Selected #89 overall in Round 3 of the 2022 NFL Draft by Buffalo Bills out of Baylor.
