Scouting Report | Potential |
| He'll eventually be one of the best safeties you'll see at getting to the quarterback. In the future, he should develop good enough man cover skills to make a significant contribution. He loves to work and down the road he's going to have very solid strength for a safety. As he develops a better feel for the game, his instincts will help his play immensely. |
