Scouting Report
Instinctive, smart, and uncommonly versatile. Played several different positions on the field in college, including linebacker and tailback. As a defender he's supremely opportunistic and aware: buzzes around the action, is a regular threat to strip or steal the ball, and has great ball skills going the other way. Superb in pass coverage. May not yet have a true position as a pro. Excels most as a linebacker but may be best suited to playing safety. Will need some time and reps to find his niche in the NFL. Not particularly fast in a straight line or stout and consistent as a wrap-up tackler.
Long Range Potential: Playmaking inside linebacker or safety, with unique all-round ability.
