02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Winters projects best in a 4-3 Cover-3 heavy scheme that asks its linebackers to play downhill, fill gaps, and pursue the ball carrier sideline-to-sideline.

Will LBNickel LBSpecial teams ace
Best role

Initially, he'd be a core special teams player, with the ceiling to develop into a starting weakside linebacker who excels in pursuit and coverage against tight ends and running backs.

Wrong fit

He would struggle immensely in a two-gap 3-4 scheme where he would be asked to consistently take on and shed blocks from interior linemen.

Winters is an ideal fit for a fast-flowing defensive system that can leverage his athleticism and playmaking ability in space.
