Chidobe Awuzie Scouting Report

"Well rounded DB who can cover and tackle but lacks strength and size as a safety and isn't a standout playmaker in coverage."


Kirby Lee USA Today

 

Strengths

Quick feet with good overall speed. Good open field tackler. Aggressive to the ball and often the first DB to stick his head in. Sheds quickly. Produced as a blitzer and in the box. Potential switch to FS.

 

Weaknesses

Ball skills aren't the greatest and he can lose in jump ball situations. Route recognition can be slow. In position but doesn’t locate the ball. Aggressive but lacks strength and size as a safety.

 

Overall

Awuzie is a well rounded DB who can cover and tackle. He routinely made plays at or behind the los while also generally playing sticky coverage. Not an intimidator but he'd make a solid last line of defense guy.


Play style is similar to Logan Ryan although I don't think he's as reliable in coverage coming out. His relatively high floor and plug/play skill set looks to be making him a coveted prospect in April but I think 1st round is too generous.
