Fangio two-high split-safety scheme with a strong emphasis on versatility and multiple alignments between safeties and linebackers.
Immediate starter at strong safety with a high ceiling as a premier box safety capable of playing near the line of scrimmage.
A purely single-high safety system that demands deep centerfield responsibility on most snaps.
His size, athleticism, and aggressive play style make him a natural fit for a scheme that prioritizes hybrid defenders and run support from the secondary.
Selected #6 overall in Round 1 of the 2017 NFL Draft by New York Jets out of LSU.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
