Signed as an undrafted free agent by Los Angeles Chargers
Strengths
- Does a nice job using his eyes to read and react quickly. Smart, disciplined defender who makes plays on the ball and contesting throws.
- Has a solid frame with a strong lower body and much improved bulk. Fluid and rangy with the coordination and loose hips to quickly change directions.
- Does a very good job of reading the eyes of the quarterback and reacting with good field awareness and ball skills.
- Versatile with experience as an in-the-box safety and in-man coverage.
- A well-put-together athlete with a strong build. Plays fast and flies to the ball with accurate angles.
Weaknesses
- Not consistent with his footwork, is a bit choppy in transition and is slow to find the ball on deep routes.
- Has suspect instincts in coverage and needs to show better pre snap recognition.
- Opens his hips too early and allows himself to get turned around in coverage.
- Not an explosive player and needs to show better bend and flexibility in his drops - plays too high.
- Lacks the timed speed to mirror and maintain contact downfield. Loses the ball on slow-developing plays and has a tendency to reach and grab when he gets antsy.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank
in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance.
For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.
*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
