summary
summary
NFL ROLE: Downhill-impact safety with split-safety flexibility who can function as a box/robber defender in sub-packages while developing into a two-high starter. Brings play speed, range, and physical urgency that allow him to influence both run and pass phases.
BEST SCHEME FITS:
Split-safety (Quarters / Cover 2) systems that allow him to read from depth
Defenses that rotate safeties post-snap into robber or downhill support roles
Nickel-heavy structures that let him trigger forward rather than live in extended man coverageZone-oriented secondaries that emphasize vision, anticipation, and closing burst
EARLY CAREER ROLE: Immediate sub-package contributor as a box/robber safety and core special teams player. Used in pressure packages, matchup zones, and rotational safety roles where his downhill explosiveness can create disruption without overexposing him in pure man coverage.
LONG-TERM CEILING: Starting-caliber split-safety with impact value as a downhill playmaker if tackling consistency improves. Has the tools to become a tone-setting secondary presence whose processing and burst allow him to play fast and influence high-volume snaps rather than serve as a situational specialist.
FINAL GRADE (1–9): 7.0
