Summary Has really looked good in individual workouts, but did not run a great 40 time at Indy. Is a quicker than fast player that lacks size, but is very productive and fiesty. He has excellent hips and can turn and run very well. This is a player with no wasted motion, and he gets an excellent jump on the ball, which makes up for a lack of blazing speed. He plays more like a 4.4 guy and shows the ability to bump and run and has a little short burst to stay with a speed WR. He has a lot of range and is usually around the ball, and is more effective vs. the run as an open field tackler than his size would indicate. He is very aggressive and it sometimes hinders him on play fakes, but he usually has the AA and quickness to recover. He is another small DC that may have trouble on the NFL level with big and physical WRs, but he should be an excellent candidate as a nickle DC, and he is tough and aggressive enough to really add to a secondary group. He may be a better prospect than some people are anticipating.
