Scouting Report
Fast, athletic and an intense competitor. Highly productive in all defensive facets: he piles up tackles, picks off passes, steps up on the blitz, forces fumbles and is a threat to return the ball for touchdowns. Possesses the complete package. Lacks exceptional size for the safety spot. Sometimes relies more on his intensity and athletic ability than on fundamentals, which can leave him open to mistakes in coverage. Illness has been a concern.
Long Range Potential: Pro Bowl safety.
