| Scouting Report | Potential |
| Disrupting the quarterback via the blitz is something he will be excellent at in the future. One day people are going to look at this kid and be amazed at the speed he possesses for a safety. With continued good work habits, he'll end up intercepting more than his share of passes. With more time and experience, he's expected to develop average instincts. |
