..whats the scoop on this guy?

He is from the Alabama family of DBs, and was a teammate of Diggs. Was injured in college, drafted by Jax and let go. Might not be best man coverage, but is a good tackler and can anticipate routes.

Also OT Eric Smith to the 53. Bet that means Tyron isn't playing.

The team also took advantage of the 2020 rules and has elevated practice squad players CB Deante Burton and OT Eric Smith to the active roster.​

If Tyron is out, which sounds likely, might Eric Smith start instead of Terrence Steele?

Possible, but I'd expect Steele. Stick with the Devil you know.

Bama has been the top school lately in several drafts.

Possible, but I'd expect Steele. Stick with the Devil you know.

More like stuck to the Devil.

Most likely.

Savion is a good-sized Corner (6'1" 200) with a nice pedigree (Alabama DB's are always well-coached) and is only 22. He started 12 games at Alabama after transferring from junior college (originally played at LSU). He went pro early and went undrafted. Had a really bad game against Clemson in the Natty, and then ran a 4.6 at his Pro Day.

Played in the XFl before it folded.

Speed is a concern but very little risk in gambling on his size and technique. They can protect his lack of long speed with schemes and bracket coverage but eventually he will get isolated and torched deep.

We also have:

6'2" Rashard Robinson (from LSU, 49ers 4th round pick) and not to be confused with 2020 4th round pick Reggie Robinson

&

6'4" Chris Westry

..on the Practice Squad.

We have a type.

They need a backup OT.'

Eric Smith was the backup last week.
