COVERAGE ABILITY (15/20)
- Good deep zone coverage ability
- Can get a little over-aggressive with trying jumping routes
- Was seldom used in man coverage, but struggled to match speed of receivers in limited reps
MENTAL PROCESSING (17/20)
- Good instincts — always seems to be around the ball/near the action
- Anticipates route breaks fairly well from zone coverage
- Good spatial awareness in zone
SPEED/RANGE (10.5/15)
- Long speed appears to be average at best in pursuit
- Modest closing burst
- Range is solid but not spectacular — relies heavily on instincts in single-high coverage to work himself into position to make plays on the ball
AGILITY/TECHNIQUE (10.5/15)
- Reasonably agile and fluid
- Backpedal footwork can get clunky at times and detract from transitional quickness
RUN DEFENSE (6/10)
- Gets in on gang tackles
- Typically takes good angles in run support
- Jogs in backside pursuit at times
- Inconsistent tackler — tape is littered with fly-by missed tackles and low, cut-down tackle attempts
- Physical with surprising hit power when he lowers his shoulder
BALL SKILLS/PLAYMAKING (8/10)
- Not a lot of ball production in college, but he appeared to catch the ball naturally in limited opportunities
- Showed an ability to play the ball through receivers’ hands
BLITZ (3/5)
- Didn’t show much in limited reps as a blitzer
SIZE/PHYSICAL TRAITS (4/5)
- Good height/length
- Slender build could lead to durability concerns
OVERALL GRADE: 74.00/100.00 — EARLY 3RD ROUND — Complimentary starter or raw player with star potential
SCHEME FIT: Free safety in two-high looks. Has instincts/functional range to operate in single-high coverage at times.
DRAFT PROJECTION: 2nd round
