02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Carolina's defense employs a base 3-4 front with a mix of zone and man coverages, emphasizing versatile linebackers who can plug gaps and cover.

3-4 ILBNickel LBStack LB
Best role

Year 1 special teams ace and depth inside linebacker, with potential to develop into a rotational run-down backer.

Wrong fit

A pure nickel coverage scheme that demands exceptional lateral agility and man-to-man skills from its linebackers.

Mayo's power and tackling ability align with a physical 3-4 defense, but his coverage deficiencies limit a three-down role.
