Drafted: 2021: ROUND: 6 - Pick Number: 188 (NE)
Strengths
- While built more like a cornerback than a safety, he has the vision, range, hitting ability, and ball skills teams want at free safety in the pass-heavy NFL.
- Good strength to tackle. Plays with high energy and is a tough-minded overachiever.
- Very good instincts, especially in the box. Sound and solid tackler. Takes good angles in pursuit.
- Possesses good straight-line speed, fluid hips to turn and run, and explosiveness out of his breaks. Good vision and anticipation as a free safety.
- Aware in the red zone, stays on the back line to take away fade throws. Capable of making quarterbacks pay for late throws.
- Has an NFL frame with strong hands, the ability to close quickly on underneath routes and the size to tackle with a thump.
Weaknesses
- Will slip off tackles and needs to finish more consistently.
- Lowers his shoulder for the big hit rather than wrapping up securely.
- Has very inconsistent tackling technique and too often just throws himself at the lower body of the ballcarrier instead of wrapping up.
- Has tense ankles and hips with choppy footwork when attempting to redirect and doesn't always look natural changing directions.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank
in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance.
For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.
*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
