Inside linebacker who plays with consistency and technique that position coaches will appreciate. The son of a former NFL linebacker and current college coach, Sirmon sees the field clearly and is quick to diagnose and respond to the action. He has average short-area quickness and change-of-direction ability but will be in the right place at the right time. Despite his short arms, Sirmon has a knack for getting around blocks to leverage run fits and he’s been a consistent tackle finisher throughout his career. He’s smart but limited in coverage and is coming off a season-ending biceps injury, but he has the size and positional savvy to become an NFL backup and special teams performer.
McMorris' tape study can be a roller-coaster ride. He has good size and physicality and moves with fluidity in coverage. He has played all three safety spots and is capable of lining up over the slot. On the flip side, the speed and acceleration are fairly average in coverage. His missed tackles don't really square with his frame and the way he plays the game. He flashes the potential to play in the league in split-safety alignments or as a sub-package option with scheme versatility. However, he needs to run well and prove he can become a more consistent tackle finisher to get his chance.
