Again isn't he too short to be a Safety? Most are 6' or better and he's only 5'9". Are there other FS of similar size?
You got me. I would say that is small. A bit concerning in terms of starting. From memory most I would say are 6 foot or taller, 5'11" maybe.
We could envision him as a nickel/dime free safety and/or 3rd/4th CB.
I will say at those positions he is more free to let his talent take over. If he develops into something more perhaps in time he could do more.
I was thinking 4th or 5th round for him potentially. So I am shocked as well. But make no mistake I'm just a fan. Sometimes I see something and feel conviction on it, but I am no 'expert'.
They did show our war room and we looked extremely happy to get him. So whatever the reason we picked him, we had conviction about him FWIW.
Still talent on the board and two fourth rounders. Maybe we liked him more at this point then any of the other safeties???
Like the potential, but still a big head scratcher.
