Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.2% 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 30.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
