Yeah, I was confused by the pick at the time. Why would we need another safety?
Then I watched his highlights and saw him making plays in the slot vs the pass and run. Then I knew that they drafted him for that role to compete with Roby, who I think plays too far off his receiver.
He was rated on the consensus big board at like 285. However, I believe he is this year’s Alontae Taylor: a player everyone thinks was a reach but will come in and produce.
We know how to develop secondary players.
