it'd be really cool if he was faster to the ball. he came out of relative obscurity this season and made a bunch of impressive plays, but most of them were reactionary. tip drills and such. when I watched him snap to snap, he didn't come downhill with the speed and consistency that's ideal. led to him being a step late on several plays, whether it's a missed tackle or not contesting a downfield throw.

Texas moved him around, from down in the box to 20 yards deep, so it's good to see they trusted him in a variety of positions. he's a solid wrap tackler when he's aggressive, and has the ball skills to steal a possession. maybe on the stiffer side when opening up his hips, but I'd trust him over a tight end in the slot.

intriguing qualities. his 40 time will be huge, as it should show whether he can get faster to the ball, or that he's already getting there as soon as he can.
