Scouting Report
Elite picking off passes. Very quick and athletic and takes good angles to the action, also making great reads on the action in general and getting to the ball-carrier. Has solid bulk for the position. Isn't blessed with elite jets, and lacks ideal size for the position. While an excellent all-round playmaker, he isn't consistently prolific as a tackler. Injuries are a factor here.
Long Range Potential: Excellent safety, when healthy.
