overrated. he was a clean-up guy on a great team defense, which made him look better than he is.

my issues? inconsistent tackler who will land big hits and whiff on just as many. doesn't like to wrap up, which leads to a lot of run-throughs. it's aggravating to watch, every game, although his mistakes are covered up by Alabama's excellent team pursuit.

in coverage he's nearly always in the right spot, so that's something, and he has good length to contest passes. gets away with a ton of pass interference because he's smooth at it; lots of inside grabs and holds. although he's split-high as often as he is in the box, I'm not confident he can make impact plays downfield. good hands though.

he has starting potential if he can figure out how to tackle properly, but I don't know where all this first-round talk came from.
