Penn State Alum and mega fan here, this dude is already a better safety than Nick Scott. He’s a true FS, he has length and range and can actually play back. Fell because he ran a 4.62 40, other then that he has every trait. Best pick of our draft!!!

Out of curiosity, how does he only have 1 INT and 1 PBU as a FS? That just seems….not good.

Give him about 8 games to adjust to the speed of the nfl and he during our late season push for the NFC south I could def see him contributing heavily.

So yeah this kid looks promising af. Love that 6'3 height too. Lets go!!!!!

Ok so a better tackler than Genesis and i’m assuming better in coverage than Kilgore so seems like a good fit. Our FS needs to do both

Might be my favorite pick so far . Can’t believe we finally took a rangy free safety and a true center lol 

[WUnderhill]

Did we trade our 6th round pick to move up for him? I’ve lost track of the trades.

I'm loving the back half of this draft more than our main picks tbh
