Watch points

  • Game time. Only 54.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 37.9 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
