Scouting Report Potential He was a good blitzer in high school and coaches see no reason why he can't reach that level here. He's got the potential to develop some outstanding agility which will greatly benefit his play. With better technique, his ability to cover passes will become a huge asset for any team. Has an innate feel for the game that, once fully developed, will allow him to always be in position to make plays.
