HoosierCat Posted May 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Also competed in long-jump and triple-jump as a Georgia prep. Appeared in 13 games with seven starts as a true freshman in 2010, posting 32 tackles, three pass breakups and two interceptions with three tackles for loss and one sack. Totaled 60-3-1 with one tackle of loss in 13 games with 12 starts at safety in '11. Did not play in the season opener vs. Samford. Started 12 of his 13 games played at cornerback in '12 and tied for the team in lead in pass breakups after posting 43-7-2. Scored his first career touchdown with a 72-yard interception return against Samford. Made 10 starts in '13 and logged 32-7-2 with one tackle for loss and one sack and didn't play in season finale win at Florida (undisclosed injury).ANALYSISSTRENGTHS Nice arm length and press strength. Efficient pedal. Good plant and drive. Aggressive jumping routes when he sees it. Functional in run support -- leverages the field and takes good angles. Good closing speed. Solid, face-up tackler.WEAKNESSES Size is just adequate. Not an explosive athlete. Short-area quickness is lacking. Green instincts. Loses phase in transition. Average production on the ball. Faced marginal competition and could struggle adjusting to the speed of the pro game.DRAFT PROJECTION Rounds 6-7BOTTOM LINE Adequate-sized, shuffle-and-bail corner who shed weight to convert from safety to cornerback. Has length and moldable tools, but will require patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsbengalsbucks Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Hopefully he is being looked at for a backup S, with that speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wraith Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 They have clearly made a decision not to Draft certain character types. Not saying Jeremy Hill is an alter boy but they are staying away from guys with addiction problems and guys who are not football junkies.

kingwilly Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 With the age of Newman, Jones and Hall (not to mention his recovery) I would have liked them to get a CB higher. Jaylen Watkins was there in r3, Desir there in r4.those are solid guys. Overall not a bad r7 selection but this team needs more than this for depth, considering.
