I'm not so sure I believe that, but if it's true, then he's without question a Safety.

I think King is a perfect comparison athleticism wise, only difference is Pickett has legit hands. He is a playmaker who could get 7/8 INTs a year.

Pickett is a top 5 player in this class. Miami needs to close.

they had just watched him at Battle Miami, and were both like he is at least 6'4 and they think maybe taller.
I would lean safety anyways, but yes if he is that tall safety.

He doesn't even hear the whistle...Can he make plays after the whistle like JW0?
When the ref tries to say the play is dead, he just snatches the whistle out of his hands & screams "The play is over when I say so!.."

Williams is closer to AJ Highsmith than this kid
I'm not sure that's a high bar to hurdle.
but the other stuff? you're correct, and the difference is clear.
JW should have been an OLB from the jump. DJP could be, but not sure he has to. Safety is very much in his future.

It was the hips. JW didn’t have it.I'm not sure that's a high bar to hurdle.

JW became committed to being an LB last offseason, he transformed his body. Only problem is our safety depth was trash, & once KK had that scary injury vs A&M that was when it became clear they needed JW at safety. I think if Guidry loved the depth are deemed another DB capable of doing the job better he would’ve been starting instead of Wes…

this is everyone. But the list looks legit. More than I thought, but still unicorns at that height.

He is a very very good prospect. Travis Hunter was more of a unicorn prospect ATH who I think is an even better WR than CB but that’s debatable. Peterson was a different breed. Surtain was college ready size wise coming out of high school. Antrel Rolle was another one like that!
Tariq Woolen is a good comparison for this kid!^^ Hopefully the family connection helps us out here. We’ve missed on so many of these types of CBs in recent memory…
Unless I'm not understanding, the main guy he had the relationship with at Michigan is now in LA with Harbaugh. So, while there will always be the family connection with Michigan, I'm guessing they have some ground to catch back up with a new coaching staff on the defensive side of the ball.
