| Scouting Report | Potential |
| Disrupting the quarterback via the blitz is something he will be excellent at in the future. Coaches say this kid has an innate ability to get to the ball and could someday lead all safeties in picks. As he gains confidence in his secondary duties, he'll turn into an outstanding tackler. He's steadily improving and should end up being one of the best zone cover guys in America. |
