I mean, he will strike sometimes and can wrap up, but he does not change directions and break down well all the time and will whiff on some tackles.
So, how do you use him? I plugged him in with the strong safeties. I have him behind Barron and Antonio Allen from South Carolina. Allen is a better striker, better presence in the box and makes more splash plays. I had him in the late 3rd but he seems to have gained some traction since his pro day. Still, film should put him in the 3rd.

I think you broke him down well.
The open field tackling surpirised me, b/c he has so many tackles I had assumed he was a great all-around tackler, but that is not the case.
I see him as fluid enough to play NFL safety, but not as much so as Barron or Allen.
I think he's a player though, if used right.
