| Scouting Report | Potential |
| This guy has the determination and athleticism to become a good man cover safety in the future. He'll eventually have the strength needed to simply outmuscle most of his competition. He's been working with a lot of focus lately and, over time, should become solid playing in the zone. Seems to have an good feel for the position and should develop solid instincts over time. |
