Scouting Report
An effective, every down starter, he is maturing into a team leader and ranks among the league's best at his position. Gathers his compact frame to track and level ball carriers as an aggressive run defender. Shines in deep coverage with the instincts and quickness to jump routes and patrol the deep middle against elite passers. Snatches picks via anticipation and sound positioning. Plays taller than his 5'11" stature, though his lack of ideal length can be a detriment against rangy receivers.
Long Range Potential: Excellent, multifaceted safety.
