Just take a look at this guy and imagine him being on the board when we pick at #77.

When the video gets to 1:30, just watch him roam sideline to sideline on the reverse.

At 1:58 see how he doesn't get fooled on play action.

At 2:33 you will see him set the edge, get off a block, and pursue to make a tackle.

At 2:50 he shows that he's not just a "in the box" S and plays the middle of the field. He doesn't go for the knock out hit in the endzone, but goes for the interception.

This is a guy I have a strong pull to get. He fills a hole that we have had since day one. He would be a difference maker for our defense.
