LOL. I don't know about all that.  edit:  I stated earlier that he broke 10 yards on the ball or something.  It was more like 7.  (4 or 5 lateral  - 2 or 3 vertical)  

 I take the strikethrough back.  He absolutely broke 10 yards on the play. Exactly 7 vertically and 3 maybe 4 laterally.  

 

The impressive part to me was where he was in relation to the TE when the ball left the QBs hands and his reaction to it.  I don't see it as common among rookie safeties but it's not as impressive as I originally thought.   I'd say a very good play by a rookie instead of a great one at this point.
