Brother to former Nebraska Cornhusker Michael Booker, first round pick of the Atlanta Falcons in 1997. Moved in and out of the starting lineup the past three seasons. Second on the team in tackles last year totaling 62/1/1 after 34/0/1 his junior season.
Tough, physical, run defending safety best moving in a straight line. Quick reading or anticipating the action, takes good angles to the ball and explosive moving up the field. Squares into the tackle taking on bigger opponents and gives top effort until the whistle blows. Shows minimal skills in pass defense; lacks the smooth back pedal and quick break on the ball. Also has difficulty running laterally with opponents. Does not position himself correctly against receivers and lacks true ball skills. Could be a solid strong safety but must add some bulk. Free Agent.
