Yeah I heard about this. He was supposedly good in the Senior Bowl practices.Originally Posted by George Cumby
I liked the way people were talking him up, but I watched him vs OR, ORSt., and USC and... didn't really like him.
I don't think his range is great and he's a little out of control when he comes up to tackle. OR played him everywhere and even blitzed him, so he's got some versatility.
He's better either closer to the LOS or deep in a 2-deep shell (I don't see him as a single high deep safety). He can play the robber role in a Cover 1.
Maybe he can be coached up, but I didn't think he was a high upside guy.
Seems like a pretty fearless, physical, and aggressive player. Is he supposed to be GB's version of Hufanga?
I'm less enthusiastic about him now, but he's about equal to what they had last year, he's got a cheap contract, and he might get better.
One other thing: watching the OR-USC game, and Caleb Williams has some crazy scrambling ability and a good arm, but there's some chaos and mess to his game that needs to be cleaned up. He's not Peyton Manning.
