02Scheme fit
Ideal system
The Bears' defense employs a Cover-2/Cover-3 hybrid zone scheme with two-high safeties, a 4-3 base front emphasizing speed and creating turnovers.
Boundary safetyDimebackerBox safety
Best role
He projects as a core rotational safety on day one, eventually growing into a starting strong safety role.
Wrong fit
His value diminishes significantly in any single-high safety scheme that demands extensive deep-field coverage.
Williamson's versatility in the box and ability to play multiple safety roles makes him a good fit for Chicago's turnover-hungry defense, particularly given their need for depth at the position.
