Scouting Report Potential When fully developed, the ability to blitz from the corner position will be a strength. He'll never have world class speed, but he'll have enough to hold his own at the college level. By the time his career is over, he will develop above average agility. He's a workout fiend and most people expect him to end up with a strong body because of it.
