sell me on this kid. I would think of him more of a safety. I like the way they summed him up. 'see ball, get ball' attitude. but i see a kid that will require safety help deep. he is incredible at roughing up WR in coverage especially down field. He has the talent but his instincts worry me. for being so physical his run support is really lacking in effort. So as a CB he is a major project. As a SS safety he seems to lack desire. As a FS he has to answer the IQ question. i am just lost on this kid and the hype he is getting to make him a second rounder.

Hagan...watch his closing speed, like you said "go get ball", just absolutely amazing...

soft, soft hands - he intercepts the ball over the shoulder better than most pro prospect receivers...

his size gives us a big DB to match up on the larger receivers; he would smother smaller ones like Josh Norman did to Cooks on end zone routes...

he could play both safety and cornerback; could allow Damian Swann to move to Free Safety...

and my favorite...Howard can absolutely bring the wood, decleating smaller running backs...
