Ideal system
Eric Scott projects as a strong safety for a Cover-3 match heavy defense, particularly one that relies on strong run support from the secondary.

Best role
Year 1 special teams ace with the versatility to contribute on defense, ceiling as a starter.
Wrong fit
Any two-high safety system that demands extensive deep zone coverage.
Scott's athleticism and aggressive downhill play make him a compelling fit for Dallas's primarily single-high defensive scheme.
