Fullback U: A smart, instinctive player, Michael Scherer is a solid blend of size and athleticism. He’s going to have an opportunity to rack up those tackle numbers again, particularly since the defensive line depth might mean that he’s asked to provide even more run support than in the past.
Scherer will be used as an occasional blitzer, but his real value will be QBing the defense, stopping the run and providing coverage underneath when Barry Odom does decide to blitz. He’s already demonstrated he can cover tight ends all the way down the field as well as stuff the run, and I believe Scherer's effectiveness can make everyone around him better.
