Dennis Allen

Both of them have the athletic ability to match up in coverage, and I think that's something that I'm excited about.

I do think one of the things that we talked about, not just specifically with that position, but overall in general in terms of our defense, was we really needed to increase our team speed, and I felt like we were able to do that with several of the draft choices.

Well, I don't know.

It was necessarily that.

Um, uh, I just think, you know, um, I don't like say anything negative about any programs or anything like that, but, but I think, well, um,

I think Dan Lanning runs a pretty complex system there at Oregon.

They ask those guys to do a lot of different things.

You saw him play as a down safety.

You saw him play in the middle of the field.

You saw him play kind of, call it like a rover-type position.

So you just saw him do a lot of different things, which leads you to believe his ability to learn

and his ability to process information and apply it on the field is really some of the things that we're looking for.

I think everybody's got an opportunity to compete.

I mean, we're not making any decisions right now in terms of where we're at on the roster.

we're going to give everybody an opportunity to go out here and compete and earn whatever playing time that might be.

He is a guy that we're excited about.

He's a guy that's got a lot of the skill set that we're looking for, and now we'll just see how quickly he progresses.

Do you think that fits your game?

Will he have an opportunity to compete for a starting job at cornerback?

I think everybody's got an opportunity to compete.
