Summary

Did not workout at the combine....but that is not surprise for a Florida player. Came to Florida as a highly touted RB, and in fact started in 1996 before moving to DC and starting his senior season....he ended his senior year with 33 tackles and 1 Int., but also contributed a couple of blocked field goals on special teams. He is obviously a solid athlete and although he is not a very tall DC, he shows excellent overall ball skills and is fluid for a guy with not a lot of experience. He has good, but not great speed, and may not have the burst of a top flight NFL DC. However, he is a very competitive guy that covers a lot of ground and shows enough upside to be an intriguing player. He has come a long way in 1 year at the position, and he may require a year of developing on the NFL level, but if he progresses like expected, he could be a real sleeper.
