Northwestern· 5'11"· 195 lb· 4.48s 40
A hybrid safety/nickelback for a two-high quarters or Cover-2 base defense, relying on communication and zone integrity more than physical dominance.
Excellent special teams player year one, with the potential to develop into a reliable sub-package safety or nickelback due to his coverage upside and intelligence.
Single-high safety in a Cover-1 man-heavy scheme, where his average tackling and size could be exploited against run support.
McManis's versatility and intelligence make him a valuable asset in complex zone schemes, compensating for his lack of elite physical traits.
