Projection Rationale
Chestnut has 4 years remaining on his rookie contract, which provides security for his role.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025.
Opportunity Notes
He has no notable competition for his role.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Robert Saleh coordinates a 4-3 zone-heavy defense with a 27.2% blitz rate. Chestnut’s production fits within this scheme, as a DB in a zone-heavy defense.
Ceiling / Floor
Chestnut’s ceiling is DB1-DB2, and he must continue to improve his tackling and pass defense skills to reach this level. His floor is DB4-DB5, and he may struggle to maintain his current level of production if he loses significant playing time.
Comparable Player
Mark Carrier, 1990-1993.
