Quote:Not trying to be mean or anything, but what do you like about him?


I watched his one game on draft breakdown a week or so ago and was far from impressed.

He's probably the best center fielder in this draft. He has the speed to play as the deep safety, can make up ground if he gets beat, and has the skills to play nickel CB on 3rd down. He's an aggressive tackler, plays with a high motor, and has a knack for causing turnovers. He would absolutely thrive in this defense and only played 2 years at ASU spending his freshman and junior years at JUCO. He's still growing as a player and will get better from here. He was the best safety on the field at the senior bowl outshining the aforementioned Prewitt.


This is from his CBS draft profile:

Quote:STRENGTHS: Above average speed for the position with transitional quickness and natural footwork. Highly aggressive and plays at full speed at all times. Never gives up on plays and has a knack for chasing down ballcarriers downfield from behind. Understands angles and sees things happening quickly. Decisive sideline angles with closing burst to make up ground. Good anticipation to jump routes, reading the quarterback and baiting throws.


Heady awareness and won't fall asleep at the wheel. Adequate ballskills and knows what to do with the ball once he gains possession (six career interceptions, averaging 29.8 yards per return with two touchdowns). Plays bigger than he looks and initiates the action, seeking out contact with a violent mentality to strike through his target. Plays ticked off and sets the tempo. Unselfish team-first type with ideal training habits.


Played on special teams coverages at Arizona State with experience as a return man. Productive starter in only two seasons at the FBS level, creating 10 turnovers (six interceptions, four forced fumbles).
