Predraft Analysis: Marquise Lee

marqleeIf the Eagles remained at pick #22, wide-receiver Marqise Lee is a name we could hear called on draft night.  The former USC Trojan had some monster games against Chip Kelly when he was coaching at Oregon, and Chip has shown a fondness for Pac-12 players.

Lee’s overall skillset, body composition and college career is similar to that of current Eagle Jeremy Maclin.  His size is good but not great, speed is nice but not explosive, and he is more known for making plays after the catch rather than creating plays as a matchup problem.

His game tape reminds me of Greg Jennings formally of the Green Bay Packers and now with the Minnesota Vikings.   Lee could certainly help improve the Eagles receiving core, and his transition to the pro game would be easier than other receivers taken in the first round of the draft.  His versatility, football I.Q. and willingness to block are all attributes that Kelly likes in a receiver.

Lee is not a big guy.  He is 6’0 and 192 pounds.  A lot of his upside would depend on how he was used on the field.   He is not going to blow past defenders with the deep pass and he won’t win the jump ball.  His best traits are making defenders miss once the football is in his possession.  He takes good angles and demonstrates patience with allowing for downfield blocking.

The Eagles have had the top end speed receiver for the last six seasons, and if they really wanted to, they could get themselves that type of guy in the first round with Brandin Cooks.  If the Eagles wanted that big, physical wide receiver, they could go in the direction of Benjamin.  In between the elite speed and size is a guy like Lee.

Marqise Lee would be a selection that I would “understand” as our first round selection, this is a good spot for him and he fits an area of need for the Eagles.  Odell Beckham Jr. from of LSU is another name that is projected around our first round selection.   Lee and Beckham Jr. give me the “eh” I’d rather trade back or draft the best defensive player available.

There are other receivers that measure in around or slightly above 6’ and weigh 190 to 210 pounds that I would prefer to be drafted outside of the first round.  These are players who I’m looking to take over the role that Jason Avant left behind in terms of receiving targets.  Avant had above average hands, solid blocking and was fearless playing in the middle of the field.  He also had “zero” upside after making the catch, something we must get from a receiver we elect to draft.

Round 3

Jared Abbrederis- Wisconsin 6’1” 195 pounds- Nothing flashy about his game, he brings his lunch pail to work each day and gets the job done.

Jarvis Landry WR- (LSU)- 6’ 205 pounds-strong hands and fearless, willing to put his body on the line to make the catch.  Plays with an edge, physical and does well getting off the line of scrimmage when defenders try to jam.

Round 4

Josh Huff (Oregon)- 5’-11” 206 pounds- Jeff Maehl 2.0?  No, this kid has bigger upside at the NFL level, and a different kind of make-up.  Huff is the kind of player that understands where he needs to break his route short, and can be a reliable dump off for his quarterback when he is in trouble.  Huff would do all of the things Avant did, but add the “YAC.”  Needs to improve with the dropped passes; something that gets lost in the shuffle after breaking the receiving yards and touchdown record his senior year.

Kevin Norwood (Alabama) -6’2” 198 pounds- good character, smart, willing.  His actual skill set is average, was not very productive at the college level but scouts think he has more to offer in the right situation.

Round 5

Mike Davis (Texas) -6’ 197 pounds- Plays a lot bigger then listed, and had a solid career with facing legitimate competition.  Needs to work on his consistency with route running and overall focus throughout the game.

TJ Jones (Notre Dame)- 6’  188 pounds-  Has good overall makeup as a receiver and can help in the return game if called upon.  Athletic for size and could afford adding some bulk to narrow frame at the professional level.

Round 6

Ryan Grant (Tulane) -6’ 199 pounds- Solid built with a good second gear once the ball is in his hands.  Overall skill-set is still in the works.

Round 7/Undrafted

Austin Franklin- (New Mexico State) 5’11” 189 pounds- Plays with a chip on his shoulder, fights for the extra yards and has decent speed with good vision on the football field.

Matt Hazel – (Coastal Carolina) 6’1” 198 pounds- Hard worker who has played multiple assignments in the passing game.  Needs to develop skill set; practice squad player.

Do tell why…..give us your evaluation, as the ONLY “expert” who thinks he will be a bust.
I personally don’t think he has the tools to be a #1 but I think he has the tools to be a good WR in the league. I want to hear your evaluation, and don’t pussy out by saying “bc I’m the head @#$%^ in charge”. Actually do what you claim you can do!

predict away GMCliff, May 11, 2014 your list of 42 impact or GMCliff approved draft prospects gets consolidated down to 6. Oh and you still need a QB. You have zero claim to top 5 NFL GM Howie Roseman blue chip selection Nick Foles. You don’t like Howie’s draft pick, you say you can do better go find the eagles QB of the future like Howie did. Because right now your crappy selection choices have Mike Vick and his 100 million contract leading this team because you offered no draft pick suggestion capable to remove him.

Thank you for proving my point. You have no evaluation talent. I asked you to give your evaluation of 1 player and you have pussy footed around. So in truth all you have is an opinion like everyone else. You have a 50/50 chance of being right…..but then again if he catches 65 passes for 900 yds and 7 td’s you’ll still say he was a bust. You have given nothing as to why or what will make him a bust.
Be a man for once! I’ll share my opinion on you……you are a welfare collecting, food stamp using, trailer trash POS. I live less then 20 miles from you and know that Wilmington is nothing but a large ghetto.

You obviously have another objective…..but you will NEVER accomplish that, because the GCobb family – minus your alter egos – have already witnessed the results – and there is nothing that you can do to change that…..

You will never make your point because – results are all that matter to me, and the rest on here…..

Results that you have yet to attain….Your all mouth…Step off me rookie…………

Your calling me a retard, but you were the one that signed on to Safety from Baylor, and then said in a response to someone else’s post that he sucked, and you weren’t impressed with him….I don’t know sounds like a pot calling the kettle black situation…….LOL!!!

WOW…..not a good draft at all! Only pick that is good is Colvin. Hageman is not that good. Not worthy of a 1st round pick. Has BUST written all over him. Robinson is to slow. Jones is to light in the ass. Dixon isn’t impressive. Thomas has the torn ACL, no idea how he will recover.
Robinson, and Thomas won’t be available where you picked them and to pick them earlier is a huge reach.

Ok dude, I understand you have a hard-on for EOS thats your thing so please stop sharing it with everyone we aren’t interested.
I believe the Eagles trade down or even out of the 1st round but if they stay at #22
1st round- Lee WR USC. Picks someone Chip knows. Not my choice but it is what I believe they will do.
2nd round-Attaochu OLB Ga Tech. Big upside/great pass rusher.
3rd round- **A Dixon Safety Baylor. Big and fast for a Safety*********
4th round-B Coleman WR Rutgers. Big WR to replace Cooper after next year.
5th round-T Hart DE/DT Oregon. Someone Chip knows and adds depth to a thin DL.
7th round-C Lyerla TE Oregon. Again someone Chip knows. If Chip doesn’t draft him no one will. Hopes to get a 1st round talent late and hopes he is maturing……

Don’t forget E0S, because, I’m gonna remember – You just pissed on yourself dumbass……Bwhahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Larry Webster, is not coming into the league as a DE……He has been working out, and been interviewed as a Tight End, and has been for sometime during the off-season – even at the Senior Bowl, although he was in for a few plays at DE……

Scouts, stay up to date, and I told you, that you would get at least one wrong…

Most are enamored with Larry Webster, just because of the name, and the genes associated with the name – so they assume that means diamond in the rough – That opinion was wrong

He was overmatched against stiffer competition playing at the Defensive End Position; He couldn’t get off blocks quick enough to display, or use his athleticism; and wasn’t strong enough at the point of attack against NFL Quality OT’s…..His inexperience playing at a lower level of competition showed, and worked against him leading to a low grade draft position – as a Tight End, he may not be drafted.

– But, he is an athlete, who has decent speed, and great athleticism, to develop into a nice Special Teams Player, and eventually perhaps earn good minutes as a TE once he builds up his strength, and his body…..

You didn’t know that because you just can’t Google that information, as you do, and feel you have insight that you think I don’t…………

BTW, you don’t direct me to do anything…Fuck you…Do you understand Wiggles…I mean E0S……I told you, I don’t have to prove anything – But I have already evaluated him..

Paul, and I both discussed Jeff Janis, before, and after his Senior Bowl Game…

LOSER…..blah blah blah
As far as the Safety goes…..if you KNEW anything about predicting who a team would draft you have to know something about the team and football. I di not like the safety from Baylor BUT if you had noticed I didn’t Mock a Safety to the Eagles before that point. Safety is an area of need, so they need to draft one and at that point he was the best available. SO KEEP TALKING OUT YOUR ASS. He is a big and fast Safety but he seemed to get burnt deep a few times. So yes I did Mock him to the Eagles but I don’t like him. see thats the difference between a real evaluator and a fraud. You Mock who you have a hard-on for without knowing what the team needs.
I can make up where I live to. You said you lived in Wilmington now you live in Bear. They aren’t even close! Thats like me saying I live in Cherry Hill but said I lived in Pennsville. You are a fraud and liar!

I don’t think WR M Lee will be a bust at all, I also don’t think he is worthy of a 1st Round Pick.. I believe he will have a solid Career with decent Stats
To be honest, he reminds me a lot of Jeremy Maclin and is a good route runner, with good hands but believe his body will not be able to take the physical pounding of working the short, intermediate routes that he will be required
To do since he lacks elite speed.. I see Lee averaging 40 or so Receptions
a year with a couple of TD’s and 550-600 Receiving Yards ..
Basically a #2 or a #3 WR for most Clubs..

M Lee is the most NFL Ready WR and can run all the routes well,
His issue is a lack of speed to get separation and his build of 195lbs which will get him tagged across the middle & intermediates routes which he will be relegated to since he is not a legitimate deep threat
I just don’t see much upside with M Lee, he’ll come and produce right away,
But I believe his durability or lack there of will limit his long-term prospects
As a big time WR.. Which I similar how I feel about Maclin to be honest.

No way on that trade..
Fletcher is not the kind of down 3-4 DE that Belicheck likes, nor is he big enough to anchor the NT position where Belicheck prefers those big bodies in the middle and those long & athletic DE/OLB at the edge
Cox is neither..

I think Eagles best Trade Partner to move back is with the Cleveland Browns
Browns want Derek Carr or Bridgewater with their second 1st Rd Pick (#26)
I can See Eagles sending #22 to Browns for #26 and one of their 3rd Round Picks..
I believe Cardinals at #20 will take Derek Carr if he’s still there
Most likely leaving Bridgewater still on Board in which the Browns would want to move up to #22 since the Pacjers are at #21 and gave no need for a QB
But after the Eagles Spot at #22, come the Chiefs at #23 then Bengals at #24 that could be in play for a QB (especially Coach AR)
If Cardinals take a Position Player at #20 and Carr & Bridgewater are still on the Board, then Browns may sit at #26 and wait to Select one of them
but since the Browns have so many Picks, I feel they are the Best Team that wants the Eagles #22 Selection to ensure they get their QB of the Future

If BB felt that strongly about Fletcher Cox being able to adapt to his schemes,
Then the Patriots would have Drafted him..
Cox will not be traded, he’s coming into his final Year of his Rookie Deal
And gas played for 3 DL Coach’s and Coordinators for each of his Eagle Seasons, so let’s see what he can do in Year #2 with DC Davis and DL Coach Jerry A first before giving up on him,
Same goes with Vinny Curry.. These Players have been asked to do different things every season while with the Eagles
Maybe now with some stability with the a Defensive Coaching Staff,
These Players as well as all the others on Defense can make that next
step-up.. At least, this is what I’m hoping for..

getting a little tired of waiting on Cox…he tapped out with the rest of the D-line in that last drive against New Orleans last year…and I don’t wanna hear the bull shit about they were playing a certain way to account for Jimmy Graham! Sometimes you have to man up and make a damm play! Cox didn’t do it and they drove the ball right up the gut on us…get it right!

Unless someone is willing to blow you away with an offer…stay at 22 and take the best player on your board! Don’t worry about position…if it is even between a Defensive tackle and a safety…take the D-Tackle if it is even between a Dtackle and a QB…take the Defensive Tackle…but if you look at your board and the highest rated player on your board still left to be picked is Bridgewater…you have to take the shot…and grab him!

I would agree Biggie besides the QB Position
If Foles is your guy, and you’ve already signed back-up Sanchez for $4 Million and moved up in last years a Draft to Select Barkley, then what do you do with a Bridgewater or any other highly Drafted QB..
I do not believe that the QB Position is on the Draft Board no matter who drops in the early Rounds.. The Eagles will find out this Summer/Pre-Season to see if Barkley is a legitimate back-up to Foles, if he can’t beat out Sanchez (which I think he won’t) then Barkley is a goner after 2014
And then they will address a young QB to groom behind Foles in the 2015 Deaft somewhere, but not before then..they simply have too many other positions to upgrade with this Draft..

Foles has them hostage in a sense. They have to earmark a ton of money next just in case he has a great year. If he doesn’t they are flush with money but now may have to mortgage a couple of drafts to trade up for Kellys guy barring a collapse this season.

Jay Cutlers deal was a tone setter. The 49ers are in the same situation. They will be getting rid of some key players on defense to fit that deal in and possible new deal for Crabtree.

Remember that 49ers let Safety Dontae Whitner, CB Carlos Rodgers go in Free-Angency, have an aging DE in Justin Smith, an aging Patrick Willis and an injured LB in Navarro BOwman as well as a big question mark with DE Aldon Smith..

They took chandler jones that draft he wasn’t a bad pick hear what u saying Paulman let him play in the scheme for more than one year but on same not they talking about him like he was warren sapp when he was coming out he is a pass rusher 4-3 dt not a run stuffer 3-4 de it was a mistake to switch to the 3-4 there gonna pay for it with him,cole, graham & curry wasted picks that’s two 1st rd picks a 2nd and 5th and some would argue Kendrick’s also. If they keep cox and he plays like he did this year his trade value goes way down maybe to nothing. It’s more risk than reward with keeping him if you keep him he might turn into a good run stopper but he will never be that pass rushing dt he brought in here to be. You can find a good run stuffing 3-4 de and where in the draft like him he is not Star Lotulelei, Mohammed Wilkinson, Sheldon Richardson & Haloti Ngata and he sure as hell isn’t jj watt.

Completely agree with Paulman here, When I see Lee play Maclin was the first guy to come to mind. I wouldn’t mind Lee if we didn’t already have Maclin. My guy this whole time has been Odell Beckham.
Right now my picks at 22 go in this order of availability:
Pryor
Beckham
Mosley
Nix

Im not a fan of trading back a million times in this draft. There is no way I want our first pick to come at like 50 overall. Reality is if a team can get one stud and one solid starter in a draft with some potential depth back up guys then they had a great draft. I see mocks where you guys have like multiple 3rd and 4th round picks. Take a look at the players picked in those rounds for the past ten years..70% of those guys are out of the league in 3 years.

In usual years that might be the case but with this yrs draft they are saying you can get a player in the 3rd rd in a normal he might go 2nd or late 1st that’s why you would want to trade back cause this draft is deep they have a lot of holes and they are going to be getting rid of a lot of players next offseason

I won’t be mad if they trade back a few spots here or there. But some of you have them trading back a million times to have a hundred picks in rounds 2-5. Screw that give me the stud in the first round. We don’t have that luxury. And when you look at the success rate of players in those rounds its stupid.

And I bet a lot of guys mocked in the mid rounds on here go a lot higher than people thought. The mocks on the internet are so wrong after the actual draft occurs. I bet guys people want in the second like Fuller and Attaochu go in the first or very high in the second.

Put some really good players around Cox and I bet he blows up. People talk up Poe from the Chiefs yet they just forget the guy has two pass rushing monsters on each side of him in Hali/Houston who get double teamed attention on every play. He also has a very good secondary to play with that that can make the opposing Qb hold the ball much longer than our secondary can.
Im not giving up on Cox..give the guy some serious pass rushers on the sides to draw attention away first

WR is also one of the hardest positions to hit on in all of the draft. Outside QB, Its probably biggest bust potential in the high rounds. Thats because location is so key for a WR success. Unlike other positions, a WR production is dependent on the QB talent (unless you are just a freak like Gordan/Fitz/Calvin)…
The biggest reason why there are so many busts at the WR position is because usually the team picking them in the high rounds don’t have a QB. If guys like Jordy Nelson, D.Thomas, Julio Jones were drafted by Raiders they would be nowhere near as good.
It will be interesting to see where some of these guys go.
Take a player like Benjamin. If he goes to the Saints or Pats he will likely be great. If he goes to the Rams or Jets he will likely bust.

Yawn. Dumping winy assed “elite” players often for the benefit of the team.

From SI.com

Boston Bruins part with elite players to become NHL’s best team

As I was watching the Boston Bruins methodically dispose of the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday afternoon to clinch the Presidents’ Trophy for the league’s best record, a thought came to mind: This is a team that, over the past four years, has dealt away two young players who went on to become superstars with their new clubs…and the Bruins are somehow better for it.

And then a second thought: Peter Chiarelli is the most fearless, and possibly the best, general manager in hockey.

It was Chiarelli who determined that Phil Kessel, the fifth overall pick in the 2006 draft and a 36-goal scorer in just his third NHL season, didn’t fit with his vision for the team. And so he dealt the 21-year-old to Toronto for a handful of magic beans, one of which he turned into Tyler Seguin.

Seguin came in and helped the Bruins win a Cup in 2011, but it wasn’t long before he also proved to be an ill-fitting piece. Whether it was immaturity off the ice, his style on it or simply an exploding contract that didn’t fit well under the contracting cap, he was deemed expendable and shipped to Dallas for veteran Loui Eriksson and another handful of prospects.

Both Kessel and Seguin scored a career-high 37 goals this season, tied for fifth overall in the league. Kessel stands sixth in the overall scoring race with 80 points, tops on the Leafs and an new personal best. Seguin was arguably the breakthrough player of the year, his 84 points trailing just Sidney Crosby and Ryan Getzlaf.

Both have established themselves as impact players whose absence would severely cripple their new teams…and yet the Bruins didn’t simply survive their loss. They actually got better.

Focusing on the only points that matter — the two up for grabs every night — Chiarelli built a team that relies on depth and a shared identity rather than a predominant superstar. The wisdom of that approach is evident. That Stanley Cup in 2011. An appearance in the Final last year. And now, Boston’s first Presidents’ Trophy since the 1989-1990 season. That year, the Bruins lost to Mark Messier and the Edmonton Oilers in the Stanley Cup Final, and there’s a very good chance they’ll fall short of their ultimate goal again. There are no guarantees once you get into the tournament.

But what is guaranteed is this: Thanks to the bold machinations of Chiarelli, the Bruins are as well situated as any team to capture the Cup. Not just this year, but next year and the year after and the year after that one, too.

Plenty of teams talk about establishing a new culture. That’s exactly what Chiarelli did soon after being hired in 2006. He created a Culture of We. Everybody ropes, everybody rides and no one is bigger or more important than the spoked B on the front of the sweater.

And that is why the Bruins are the best team in hockey.

Facts Now instead of adding a defensive player to the worst pass defense in the NFL now they have to backtrack to hopefully find WR help. Facts We made a division rival stronger for nothing.

Eagles should have plenty of firepower to score enough points to win games but they gave to upgrade their Defense big time if they want a legitimate shot of a Super Bowl anytime soon..
And though their Defense Played better down the stretch as far as Points Allowed, there is no way they can compete until they add 2-3 Playmakers on Defense..
Time will tell, but that’s how I would build the Team,
Plenty of SB Teams have won recently without a True #1 WR and all those gaudy stats at WR..

With average WR Corps)

Paulman the only thing I see wrong with your draft is they wouldn’t need Kareem Martin after getting Mack cause the eagles would try to convert him to an olb you could take your wr there like a Cody latimer or they could just take Sammy Watkins there @4 and then take the best defensive player @22.

Kareem Martin is 6-6″-275lbs and will be DE
Then slide inside as a pass-rushing DT in 2 years Time
Martin played both DE & DT at UNC.
Can be the next Peppers,Coupkes or JPP but he plays with his hand on the ground and is not a stand-up OLB like Mack is??
Next off Season it’s bye to Cole, and maybe Curry and who knows with Thirnton who if he has big season will definitely test Free-Agency and probably be gone too (this after Graham is gone this year too so Eagles DL will be very thin most likely for 2015)

If I hear “Pryor” one more time I am going to puke!!

Fast pace run oriented O. One play every 18 secs. Short passing O (pass every 1.5 secs).

Short passes sprung for big gains by heavy downfield blocking by WRs and TEs.

This is what Kelly wants.

This is why the Birds will draft another OL and TE or big WR early in May.

Once he has the O he wants he’ll think about the D.

I don’t like QB Pryor either Vinnie,
Mark Sanchez is the QB and will Win “Comeback Player of the Year”
Under Kelly’s System .. Pryor will have a couple of Wildcat Packages
Just to keep Defenses and Opponents on their toes and have to game plan
for.. Could be a brilliant move by Kelly..

Well well well, guess who just said Desean was a great friend and teammate? None other than Nick Foles, who never saw Desean’s release coming, so now the pro bowl QB, the pro bowl RB and the leader of the team last year all coming out in support of Desean? So I wonder where these anonymous were coming from? Guess he wasn’t such a bad guy after all he was just making too much money. Let’s see how this gets spun.

Here in the states it’s center and like Nick Foles said the NFL is a business things like this happen, which is what I’ve been saying since Desean was released so I guess your crush took the same course. But of course it doesn’t fit with the selfish locker room cancer bad guy so yea spin away.

You are not a Djax fan and that’s fine…but don’t expect others to feel the same way. If the organization makes a move you don’t like…especially if it involves a player you like you would want answers…hell you’ve said Roseman should be shot for making certain moves!

Lol any player that doesn’t think that the sport they play isn’t a business and their career can be over in a snap is an idiot. You are trying to impart the views of fans…the same fans that will say “we pay your salary” and most players could care less.

You win it works you lose it doesn’t. Stop with all the psychic reading nonsense. It’s so damn simple its stupid. The Eagles resigned 4 players this year to big contracts outside of an ok deal for Riley. They are the verge of resigning a bunch more the following offseason. Money talks bullshit walks. Anyone with common sense knows either your with the new regime or you arent. If you arent good or bad look for a new place to ply your trade or shut your mouth keep your head down until new management comes along.

Lmao what the hell do you think players are going to say about other players? No player is going to rip another player in public because it opens them up to ridicule. Because if Nick Foles rips DeSean if he throws 2 picks in the Skins game and DeSean scores 2 TdS the same usual clowns will be running their mouths in here RIPPING him. On WIP ripping. On the cover of newspapers getting ripped.

Stop the nonsense.

I understand why people are fustrated with the DJax move. Me personally I thought Djax was a dynamic playmaker.

So what annoys me is the overhyping all pro greatest Eagles wr of all time nonsense like we traded away Jerry Rice.

As much as you and I know they need defensive help this team has severe holes in that defense that can’t be fixed through this draft. So if they can add a monster on the outside like Mike Evans I will lose my mind lol.

Im on record that they should trade up for Anthony Barr. Outside of Dix no other safety is gonna make an impact on this team with this sorry ass pass rush. It would be a waste of a pick.

I do think they will get there hands on Dion Jordan.

My thing with Djax is just that I remember the Torrance Small, Charles Johnsons and James Thrash and Freddie Mitchell and all the other drek receivers that has rolled on through, to me Djax was just what I waited for. He has his flaws but I was ok with them as I remeber the inept receivers of the past. I hated to see him go because I wanted to see he, Maclin, Sproles and Shady together with Foles, plus I wanted the focus of draft to be on defense. I just feel an unnecessary hole was created this year. I knew he wasn’t going to be around in 2015 though so I wouldn’t have been upset…the unexpected hit me though!

Prior reminds me of Laron Landry. I just think the difference between Dix and Pryor is much bigger than the difference than Pryor and Buchanon/Ward.

Chip wants two monsters on the outside. Run the rock, screen game, TE play.

He gave up a dynamic playmaker in DJax. It better work or its the first cement boot around his foot.

Robert Woods had a decent season playing in Buffalo from USC as a 2nd round draft pick last year and many thought Marquis Lee was the better wide receiver when they were team mates. Keenan Allen, Cordarrelle Patterson, DeAndre Hopkins, Aaron Dobson, Kenny Stills, Terrence Williams they all played well last year. You can throw a dart at the board for this years wide receivers and they would duplicate the stats last years group provided.

To IJ,
I disagree about the Pryor and LeRon Landry comparison
Safety Pryor has much better Ball Skills and Hands than LeRon Landy ever did coming out of College.There is this misnomer about Pryor simply being nothing more than a head-head hunter which is not the case.. Pryor can play well in Pass-Coverages and make plays on the ball and has very good hands to make Int’s..
I liken Pryor’s skill-set at Safety similar to a Antrolle Rolle/Adrian Wilson type who both have the combination of Physical Play, but still Athletic enough to make plays on Receivers/Ball in Pass Coverages
