Scouting Report
Potential
He'll eventually be one of the best safeties you'll see at getting to the quarterback. Over time, he's expected to develop the type of speed that is very rare at the safety position. He really seems to 'get it' and coaches think he will become a real force in zone pass coverage someday. He'll develop a decent feel for playing safety but will never have great instincts.
