Cory James projects best in a 4-3 Cover 2 or true 4-3 Under front, where he can play weakside linebacker and utilize his athleticism and sideline-to-sideline range.
As a rookie, James could immediately contribute as a core special teams player and develop into a starting weakside linebacker with his burst and playmaking ability.
He would struggle immensely in a two-gap 3-4 scheme, where his lack of size and strength would prevent him from holding up at the point of attack.
His athleticism and pass-rushing upside are intriguing, but he needs to improve his play strength and coverage instincts to excel in the NFL.
