summary

summary

NFL ROLE: Developmental rotational safety with sub-package value who brings NFL-level speed and physicality. Projects as a movable depth piece early while improving processing and positional consistency.

  • BEST SCHEME FITS: Split-safety defenses that allow him to play from depth. Nickel-heavy systems where he can align in the slot in defined roles. Zone-based coverage structures that limit extended man-match exposure. Defenses with strong DB coaching and clear assignment structure.

  • EARLY CAREER ROLE: Core special teams contributor and rotational third safety. Sub-package usage in dime and matchup roles where his speed and physicality can be featured without overloading his mental responsibilities.

  • LONG-TERM CEILING: Starting-caliber versatile safety if processing speed, angle discipline, and coverage technique continue to develop. Has the athletic profile to become a reliable multi-role defender rather than a pure matchup specialist.

  • FINAL GRADE (1–9): 6.5

  • ROUND PROJ: ROUND 3-4
