Very Intrigued.

NH3...

From that 2:00 minute highlight video I was able to see that he has a 2nd gear to close on the outside. He has good tackling ability. And he's good at keeping the play in front of him so he can find and locate the football. Smart player. 

But... What I didn't see was how well he takes on blockers and breaks free. Most of those plays were pretty much him having free range to read and react without anyone pulling out front to take him on directly. He whipped a half [BLEEP] TE block and maybe made a few plays against the interior lineman. 

I like the pick-up though. Could be good depth. With his read and react abilities he could be a solid fit on Special Teams at the minimum. Especially with that 2nd gear. I really, really like players that know how to use their 2nd gear and dial it back just a bit from the snap. A lot of guys bite too hard on what they see initially instead of watching the lineman's feet at the snap to figure out which way the play is flowing. This kid did his homework before every game.
