Best fit for a Cover-3 dominant scheme, relying on zone principles for his defensive backfield, utilizing primarily quarters and occasional man coverage.
Year 1 rotational depth, with ceiling as an eventual serviceable outside corner.
Heavy press-man or Cover-2 man schemes where he would be asked to consistently mirror faster, more agile receivers.
McFadden's athletic profile and college production project as a good fit for a zone-heavy scheme that values instincts and tackling over elite downfield speed.
