Best role

Carmichael can immediately contribute as a dependable special teams player, with a ceiling as a reliable backup deep safety or slot corner in sub packages.

Wrong fit

Man-heavy schemes that demand cornerbacks to consistently lock down receivers on an island, or teams that run exclusively two-high looks.

His athleticism and instincts are best utilized in a system that allows him to read the quarterback and break on passes from a deep alignment.
