Nate Williams of NorthWestern ~ 6.2/230
"Lacks fluidity in coverage and really looks tight in the hips when asked to redirect and quickly change directions. Now, he does exhibit natural balance in his drop and has the ability to keep his feet under him. He just really struggles to generate a burst out of his breaks and lacks the range to close on the football. Struggled generating depth down the field, as well, and just doesn't have the athleticism needed to make many plays in zone coverage.
However, he is instinctive inside vs. the run game. Seemed to consistently get good jumps on the football, picks his way through traffic well and knows how to fill run lanes. Exhibits good wrap-up ability on contact and although he lacked a great snap through his hips, he consistently got his man to the ground when playing in a phone booth. But, isn't real rangy when asked to work sideline-to-sideline and lacked the power to take on blocks when run at.
Impression: A solid two-down college player who isn't dominant enough in the run game to make up for his lack of fluidity and range vs. the pass to meet NFL standards."
