Scouting Report Potential His ability to get in the backfield and disrupt the quarterback will be a huge plus down the road. When he maxes out, his speed is going to be something people will pay to see. The way this kid pushes himself, I envision him becoming one of the most agile players in the country. When his instincts are fully developed, he could be able to shut down some really good receivers.
