Scouting Report
Truly loves to lay the lumber as a hitter, and is an intimidating presence in the secondary. Uses excellent anticipation and fluid athleticism to line up his targets, and is always around the ball making plays. Also not just a big-hit guy; he's also solid in coverage assignments, stepping up on the run, and blessed with huge, soft hands for the interception. Gets over-aggressive and over-focused on hitting, leading to missed tackles and out-of-position play. Doesn't have top-tier straight-line foot speed to recover well when he over-plays the hit. Must learn to better pick his spots and rein in his game a bit.
Long Range Potential: Intense, hard-hitting big-play safety with starter talent.
