Watch points

  • Game time. Only 8.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 38 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
