Scouting Report
Tall for an NFL defensive back, he is really built in terms of muscular bulk. That is why he can also play inside linebacker at the highest level. Is pretty explosive when reacting and closing in on ball carriers. He should be doing more to anticipate passes and try to pick them off. Needs to be on with his timing, since he does not have a lot of arm length. Clearly lacks size and strength when playing the linebacker position, but he gets by on football smarts, anticipation and quickness.
Long Range Potential: Versatile, rotational linebacker/defensive back.
