| Scouting Report | Potential |
| He'll eventually be one of the best safeties you'll see at getting to the quarterback. With more coaching and hard work, his ability to handle receivers one on one will be outstanding. The agility he is expected to develop will someday help him do some tremendous things on the football field. Coaches say this kid has an innate ability to get to the ball and could someday lead all safeties in picks. |
