Demani Richardson

Stout, strongly built safety with college-ready size. Looks almost like an outside linebacker and could probably play there in some college schemes. Reliable tackler who will hunt for the big hit. Serious thumper. Physical tone-setter who closes fast and arrives at the ball with a purpose. One of the hardest hitters in the state of Texas. Can diagnose and blow up the screen game. Plays fast and tests fast. Plenty of experience in the box and looks at home playing up. Could provide interesting personnel versatility thanks to athleticism and physical style. Explosive athlete with high potential as a blitzer. Flashes good recovery speed in the vertical passing game. Can improve hip-flipping ability when turning to run. On the stiff side through the core. Has not seen a ton of reps in man coverage or playing over the top, so coverage technique will need to be honed. Early-round NFL draft potential.
