Gutierrez seems to always have a leg up when he is guarding someone in any sort of coverage by knowing the plays better than the players that are a part of them. Gutierrez is a valuable coverage asset to his team as a defensive back, yet provides more value in being a linebacker of sorts. Gutierrez excels in coverage and can stop passes and break up plays as a linebacker should do on the defense.
