Positives: Good size. … Standout player both years of Pac-10 competition. … Ball hawk at free safety. … Willing to bait quarterbacks and can make the big play. … Reads the quarterback's eyes and gets a good break on the ball. … Better field speed than timed speed in coverage. … Can time his leaps. … Good hands for the interception. … Good agility to avoid blocks and come up to support the run. … Heavy hitter willing to throw his body into the pile.
Negatives: Has to prove the straight-line speed to be effective as a free safety in the NFL. … Despite size, ducks his head too often when taking on blocks and can lose track of the ball. … Overaggressive. …
