| Scouting Report | Potential |
| I'm fairly certain that this young man will end up having well above average speed for his position. When he gets this all figured out, he'll be solid at bringing down ball carriers. As he keeps working hard to improve, he should someday be pretty good in zone pass coverage. He's expected to develop good instincts as he is given more playing time. |
