One of those savvy veterans who played tough and masked his limitations with guile. Unfortunately, he was already behind the curve athletically *in college*; you can't bring an old man's game into the NFL as a rookie without falling even further behind.

In the box he's more than solid, providing plenty of run support and he's quick to snuff out anything to the flat. In coverage, it's his lack of speed that really shows up. Michigan State puts their safeties in plenty of man coverage and he had some brutal games: Nebraska's slot receiver Jordan Westerkamp had a career day against him; they just picked on him mercilessly (100 receiving yards solely against Drummond in the second half alone). Over the top he's limited too, as he can't reach vertical routes against elite speedsters (Devon Smith, Baylor's entire group, Oregon game).

He'll be a last day pick for depth – although considering some of the abysmal safeties starting right now, he might get more playing time than I expect.

+ Experienced guy who'll give you a presence on run defense and solid pass defense on underneath and flat routes
- Not fast enough to run with verticals and misses tackles against athletic players in space
- Generally a smart player, but for whatever reason a part of numerous, horrific coverage busts this year
