Career Notes | Agility | High School | Personal | Stats
ANALYSIS
Positives: Intelligent player who is very effective at jamming the tight end at the line of scrimmage?Shows fluid lateral agility and the quickness to make plays wide?Has a sharp closing burst on the play-side?Breaks down properly in the open when runners change direction and has the quickness to catch the backs from behind?Goes low in his stance, extending his arms to wrap, secure and drive the opponent back on his heels?Has good field awareness dropping back in the zone?His pass drop skills and fluid backpedal could see him shift to strong safety at the pro level.
Negatives: Gets suckered out of position at times, having problems with misdirection?Will finesse rather than try to maul blockers, which results in him getting tied up by some blocks when trying to shed?Better flowing to the play-side than from behind?Drives for depth with good angle in his pass drops, but keeps his feet a little narrow handling the switch-off in the zone?Does not have natural hands for the interception.
