Micah McFadden, rookie, meet Blake Martinez, veteran.
“Obviously everybody wants to play, but I want to be a starter and perform at a high level in this league,’’ McFadden told The Post on Saturday after the second rookie minicamp practice. “That’s definitely someone I would look up to, and I’m excited to learn from a guy like that.’’
When Martinez was entering the draft out of Stanford, he was viewed as a mid-round prospect. He was considered an old-fashioned run-stopper and not the new-age quicker, twitchier linebackers the league seemingly coveted. Borderline speed, below-average lateral quickness, average awareness dropping into coverage.Eight years later, McFadden’s profile, according to scouts, is somewhat similar. Not great range outside of a confined space. Not great agility dropping into coverage. A bit undersized.
“I think everybody plays different but definitely somebody I can learn from and use what he’s learned in the league and how he plays to implement in my game as well,’’ McFadden said.
