Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 100/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 5.6% 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 41.1 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
