Scouting Report
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. 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.
Long Range Potential: Slightly above-average safety.
