Patrick: Fluid hips, quick feet, good speed. Shows the ability to mirror a receiver in man coverage. Excels in zone, especially playing as a deep centerfield safety role at times. Really strong ball skills. His game just oozes high football IQ plays, and he plays with a physicality that you’d expect from someone whose brother is a safety in the NFL.
The catch, as Clay says below, is he’s not the biggest guy in the world. When he committed at 5-foot-10, 160 pounds, everyone and their mother said “Daequan Hardy” because of the size.
