PLAYER ANALYSIS
Ball-hawking safety with anticipatory traits and instincts that get the best of him at times, putting his team in harm's way. Against lesser quarterbacks, he shows off his ability to key the quarterback and get early jumps on throws whether from his role as split safety, slot corner or short-zone defender. However, NFL quarterbacks and play-callers will target his eagerness and take advantage of his willingness to get pulled out of position. He possesses below-average size in run support but is ready and willing to do his part, which will be appreciated. Ultimately, he's a feast-or-famine defender who needs a role that doesn't put him in position to be a last line of defense.
