Now it's a question of whether he can learn the techniques to develope into a skilled NFL pass-rusher ? But I bet he wouldn't clear waivers because he has flashed just enough during preseason with his considerable upside to get on more than one teams radar.
Regarding Keo, you're always pulling for a nobody from a no name school, but clearly Wade overrated him from his first impressions of the Idaho safety at the East-West game he coached. Sorry bfut this kid is not wothy of a late-round pick and should have been an UNFA. Maybe they do keep him on the PS though ?
As for Keo, he was draftable, but he does not fit what Wade is looking for in a safety. He is a in the box type safety, a slower version of Pollard. He does flash on special teams, so he does have a carrier ahead of him in the NFL, but he most likely will not be more then a special teams captain type guy.

Plus he got caught up in a numbers game here, Wade did not know what the DBs were like on this team at the time of the draft, and according to Wade he has been surprised by the amount of talent that was here. His way of bitch slapping the prior defensive coaches.
