Scouting Report
Great skill set. Runs well, hits hard and makes sound decisions. Anticipates well and will break up some plays. Can thump running backs in the box. A team leader. Still developing. Could deliver more big plays. Is a little undersized for the position and doesn't cover as much ground as he should. Durability and consistency are issues.
Long Range Potential: Solid, big-hitting safety.
