Scouting Report

Assets
  • Great hitter and tackler. Plays close to the line and runs downhill, filling gaps and punishing ballcarriers. Can make receivers hear footsteps in the middle. Plays the robber/lurk safety well and can surprise quarterbacks by sneaking into a zone and breaking up plays. A playmaker.
Flaws
  • His mix of small size and all-out hitting style has made him injury-prone. Not an elite man-to-man defender or deep zone stopper.
Career Potential
  • Pro Bowler in his prime.
