02Scheme fit
Ideal system
Cover-3 match 4-2-5 nickel with some two-high looks, prioritizing versatile safeties who can cover and support the run.
Single-high FSSplit-safetyDimebacker
Best role
Immediate special teams ace and situational deep safety, with the ceiling to develop into a starting free safety capable of covering ground and providing run support.
Wrong fit
Man-heavy schemes that frequently ask safeties to lock up in one-on-one coverage against receivers and nimble tight ends.
Scott's athletic profile and range make him a good fit for schemes that value a center-field safety who can also contribute in the box.
