Scouting Report
Potential
Being able to blitz the quarterback is a skill that could someday take his game to the next level. With more coaching and hard work, his ability to handle receivers one on one will be outstanding. I'm fairly certain that this young man will end up having well above average speed for his position. He's always been an outstanding athlete and will someday have exceptional agility compared to other safeties.
