He has the extra length to as added benefit as a safety to kind of make shoestring tackles at times.
If you move him into linebacker, he's got pretty much adequate length.
It's probably what you're looking for.
Even then it's still six, three is still pretty tall.
Paul Wisniewski from Texas Tech, formerly from North Dakota State.
You know I love those North Dakota State guys.
So 6'4", 220 pounds, another guy you could certainly make the same argument for, but I actually like his coverage a lot better.
I think he's a better athlete too.
Good reaction timing to mirror and close and man coverage.
Attacks the ball at the catch point very, very well.
Not overly physical with receivers.
And I think he has average long speed.
That's going to limit what matchups he can and can't have in man coverage playing zone.
I think he has some pretty decent eyes on the QB and the footwork to move with the play.
It's pretty decent.
Reaction timing is pretty solid to close downhill, but he can be really, really influenced by the quarterback and have to play catch up.
And he doesn't quite have the athleticism to play catch up at the NFL level.
And the run game, I think that he flows with the play well.
He comes downhill without fear, but carefully.
So not too aggressive to overrun a play.
