Watch points

  • Game time. Only 38.3% 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 (2.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
