02Scheme fit
Ideal system
Gervarrius Owens is best suited for a Cover-3 match or quarters scheme that capitalizes on his coverage skills and downhill playmaking ability.
Field SafetyDimebackerSlot coverageBox Safety
Best role
Year 1 could see him as a rotational safety, special teams ace, and a sub-package dimebacker with a ceiling to be a starting strong safety in a two-high system.
Wrong fit
He would be a poor fit in a true single-high safety scheme where he's consistently isolated in deep coverage due to a lack of elite high-end speed.
Owens' versatility allows him to contribute in various roles, though he's best leveraged close to the line of scrimmage or in intermediate coverage.
