02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Cover-2 base defense with zone blitz concepts, emphasizing speed and coverage abilities from the linebacker position.

Will LB in 4-3Cover-2 MIKEInside Nickel LB
Best role

Immediate special teams contributor and sub-package coverage linebacker with the upside to develop into a starting 4-3 Will.

Wrong fit

A traditional 3-4 two-gapping defense that requires a high volume of interior run fits and shedding blocks from larger offensive linemen.

McCarthy's athleticism and coverage skills make him a strong fit for modern pass-heavy defenses, but his size and run-defending limitations in the box could be exploited in power running schemes.
