[QUOTE="AmishMafia, post: 494580, member: 2846"] He is 6'2" and very athletic. He is okay in smarts. He came from a small program and they used him as an in-the-box aggressive safety. The knock on him is that he doesn't make big plays and had poor coverage skills. In my opinion, Vanderbilt didn't need him in coverage - they had Casey Haywood and another pretty good guy. So, it may be his coverage skills sucked, so they moved him into the box a lot, or it could be that because they didn't need him to cover they moved him into the box. I am hoping it was the later, and that if he starts training and practicing coverage, he will improve in his coverage skills. Then we have a 6'2" fast/aggressive/athletic/hard working safety; which this defense could really use.
