This kid would be a great pick up—real athlete: he was S, RB, and even QB in H.S., throwing for 21 TDs his Junior year.

He was regularly one of Vandy’s top tacklers this season, and they were a tough defense (I know, I know).

Safety or LB?

Safety

Safety

He’s more of a hybrid Star type player. He plays “Slot CB” a lot actually but not in a way that forces him to cover guys. I think I’d put him more as a Safety than anything but I don’t think he’s a traditional one. I think they’ll use him as a CSC and Tawfiq type player.

So sunny that it's blinding this morning. Gonna be a gorgeous winter day.

Not even cold with the sun out. Amazing day

I think that it's been so warm lately that I wasn't prepared for "seasonally appropriate".

The last couple mornings I actually remembered what cold felt like

 

[Buffnik]

Getting close. Building the noise before announcing, I think.

 

[GRM]

We need some hard hitting pursuit guys that can actually tackle!

 

[manhattanbuff]

I think this one pops today

[cnbuff410]

One of the best run stop safety in the nation

 

[manhattanbuff]

Nickel/Safety room rounding out nicely.

Fontenette is a nice pickup.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever truly felt the Tuna Beachhead strategy in your soul…

I didn't read all of this thread, but the Buffsblog guy, who i appreciate, noted Fontennette was a captain at Vandy. He's vocal and a leader.
