| Scouting Report | Potential |
| He's learning more every day and coaches think he will someday pick off his share of passes. When he gets this all figured out, he'll be solid at bringing down ball carriers. He's been working with a lot of focus lately and, over time, should become solid playing in the zone. When his instincts are fully developed, he could be able to frustrate quarterbacks and make plays in space. |
