Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 3.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 8.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
