cb's - safeties?

I don't disagree fully...
But I think he's a "scheme fit" guy.

If you're playing a ton of Cover-3 and Zaquan is your guy who's rolling down, I think he can be productive.

****, now we're questioning Zaquan's abilities? DB along with QB are the positions I know the least about. But he seemed as good as anyone in that 2024 class in his HUDL and the couple times I caught him on television. Was highly lauded for his play at the AA practices and games, too, IIRC.

I definitely see a him as a SS over a FS. But he seems to be rangy enough to play cover 2 (or quarters) when needed. Isn't he a 4.5 guy? What am I missing?

Would you rather ask a kid to do something that he majored in, or ask him to do something completely new and outside of his comfort zone?

The kid spent his whole career in the box. That's what he's elite at.

I mean...truthfully...
At some point your Safeties have to play up-top. There's no avoiding that. He has to learn that. But to NEVER put him down where he can truly thrive is kinda wild.

I may be misunderstanding you. What role do you see him playing? Isn’t the SS the box safety for the most part? If so we’re in agreement. My only point is if you need to move to a cover 2, he should be able to hold up and not get torched like our last two safeties were.
