Scouting Report
A constant threat to pick off and bust up passes, and will bring them the other way thanks to his big hands, good leaping ability, and physicality. Shows elite instincts and top-end athleticism at safety. Anticipates quarterbacks' throws supremely well, then uses his excellent quickness and fluidity to adjust and get to the football. Generally adjusts well to make plays all over the secondary, and flashes immense untapped talent. Somewhat raw overall and isn't a dependable wrap-up tackler (focusing a bit too much on either the interception or the big hit). Doesn't have elite deep foot-speed, raising some questions about his pure cover ability. Must keep working to round out his game.
Long Range Potential: True big-play safety with stellar talent.
