Scouting Report

Assets
  • A high-motor type who covers a lot of ground in zone coverage. Hits often and hard and makes plays in the open field, showing a nasty streak. Can also return kicks if needed.
Flaws
  • Has some lapses and makes some mistakes in coverage. Not very explosive on the blitz. Could do a much better job against the pass in man coverage. A bit inconsistent.
Career Potential
  • Slightly above-average safety.
  • Awards
