Scheme Fit Analysis

The scheme type and defensive coordinator suggest that Stout will be used in a zone-heavy defense, which could limit his ceiling but also provide opportunities for him to make tackles and pressures.
Trend Assessment
Declining.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: DB2-DB3, where Stout must remain healthy and continue to develop his skills in the 4-3 zone-heavy defense.
Floor: DB4-DB5, where Stout’s playing time and role could be reduced if the 49ers switch to a different defensive scheme or if he is not as effective in his current role.
