Versatile, just how Flores likes them.

More safety than linebacker, but as stated above he could be used in multiple roles

This team needs play making LB's badly. Read my motto under my name. That has been my motto for over a decade.

I thought I remembered that name from somewhere. He was found not guilty though to be fair, but the talent is almost certainly there.

Hope the kid can contribute but I am not going to put Wake level expectations on him... Not yet anyway...

Cfl usage looks much more lb than safety to me play speed looks rather average even against cfl comp. Effort looks high.

Looks like a good tackler with a motor. Speed is hard to tell....the CFL's extra-wide field always make speed/range look less than it is. I'm so used to watching NFL sized fields.

good point about cfl field size. I would say based off this if you put him at db the range is gonna be a problem.

what I’m seeing is more undersized off ball lb that works in the cfl due to the athletes and the overall size of players but likely won’t work except for real specific usage if at all in tbe pros with range that I don’t see working out in the pros as a db. Looks a little masked by high motor effort.

cfl guys that got nfl range and twitch should pop off the screen.

Number of tackles he was averaging in college 135-140 a yr for 3 yr's

He has been in a couple of NFL teams training camps and released, persistence guy likes football.
