| Scouting Report | Potential |
| Disrupting the quarterback via the blitz is something he will be excellent at in the future. As he gains more experience, I fully expect him to become one of the best man cover safeties in the conference. One day people are going to look at this kid and be amazed at the speed he possesses for a safety. When his instincts are fully developed, he could be able to frustrate quarterbacks and make plays in space. |
