Karl Joseph
School: West Virginia
Position: S
Positive: Four-year starter whose college career was ended by a knee injury four games into his senior season. Finished with 20 tackles and 5 interceptions. Posted a career-best 92 tackles as a junior. Smart, tough safety with average size and speed. Mixes it up with opponents, hard-hitting and attacks ball carriers. Quick up the field defending the run, effectively reads or anticipates the action and has a closing burst. Effectively tracks the ball in the air, plays with a good degree of suddenness and works through the whistle. Possesses better than average ball skills and terrific hands for the interception.
Negative: Played with just average speed prior to his knee injury. Lacks great size for such a hard-hitting safety. A bit slow in transition.
Analysis: Joseph was a solid safety prospect well-rounded in all areas of the game and, if healthy, offers potential in a variety of systems.
