He did make some plays out there. Don’t extend him and make him the highest paid DB just yet Jerry.

That's great. Love to see stories like this for guys who have the drive and don't turn away after the 1st door, 2nd door, 3rd door... closes to play in the NFL.

Maybe good depth for the future and a great story of persistence.

Good story. PFF didn't think much of his performance in coverage but he had the highest tackling grade on the team. Maybe he should be a safety?
