Cooley's Safety Troy Apke Film review.
The Good News: he can contribute to special teams
The Bad News: He is a terrible safety who doesn't play his position very well. Tackling issues at safety but those issues don't appear on Special Teams. He thinks too much at the safety position...which is bad bad news when your doing it on the college level already and its gonna get worse at the NFL level.
Cooley wouldn't say it, but Kevin did...this was a big time reach. Cooley said this was strictly a combine pick where his forty numbers and his vert got him drafted 2 rounds too high. Cooley said his tape at safety is absolutely not a 4th round grade.
Do you reach for a player with only special team value...and not kicking or returning the ball....but tackling a ball carrier?
The answer is no. bad pick
Tim Settle pick makes up for this garbage though...so not too mad.

He was versatile and switched as the coaching staff needed him to at Penn State. I think he's a guy you give to coach Gray, and let him figure out what to do with him.
Since he looks to be a special teams ace, you have the time to turn him into a valuable piece on the defense.
