Kevin McCadam | S | Virginia Tech | Big East Conference
Selected by Atlanta Falcons in round 5, pick 13 (148 overall)
Height Weight 40 Grade
6'0 220 4.59 3.12
Junior-college transfer used as the team's rover, a hybrid linebacker/safety position. Posted 83/2/6 last season after 28/0/1 the prior year.

Solid athlete best as a strong safety. Quick reading or anticipating the action, displays a burst of speed and works to get involved in the play. Effectively pursues to the ball, covers the pass well in the short field and has been productive on special teams. Lacks range, does not get depth on his pass drops and only average coverage skills. Also slow shedding blocks. Tenacity, coupled with his size/speed numbers makes him perfect for special teams at the next level and has an outside shot to make it as a team's eight defensive back. Free Agent.
