02Scheme fit
Ideal system
DeMarcco Hellams would slot best in a Cover-3 dominant system that values a strong run-supporting safety with decent range.
Hybrid SafetyStrong SafetyBox Safety
Best role
Year 1 sub-package strong safety, with ceiling as an eventual full-time starter in a run-heavy division.
Wrong fit
A pure two-high safety system that demands extensive deep zone coverage and minimal box responsibilities.
Hellams's collegiate experience and physical attributes make him a viable candidate for teams seeking a versatile safety who can contribute early against the run.
