| Scouting Report | Potential |
| His man cover skills are expected to develop nicely if he keeps working hard. He's got a good, solid base and should be able to develop an above average amount of strength. He's steadily improving and should end up being one of the best zone cover guys in America. When his instincts are fully developed, he could be able to frustrate quarterbacks and make plays in space. |
