Scouting Report
Big, physical, and aggressive defending the pass. Gets an impressive jam on receivers from the get-go, and re-directs quickly to step up against the running game. Has shown a knack for interceptions, and has top-tier straight-line speed going the other way. Confident and take-charge in the secondary. Too often over-commits early in the play, and can be over-aggressive in general. Flies around the action without ideal patience or balance, and misses tackles as a result. Not very fluid, and can get too easily turned around in individual coverage assignments (then too often lunges or commits penalties trying to recover).
Long Range Potential: Physical defensive back.
