| Scouting Report | Potential |
| One day people are going to look at this kid and be amazed at the speed he possesses for a safety. Coaches say this kid has an innate ability to get to the ball and could someday lead all safeties in picks. He really seems to 'get it' and coaches think he will become a real force in zone pass coverage someday. He's expected to develop good instincts as he is given more playing time. |
