Jonathan Bird 5' 11" 170 lb DB

Jonathan Bird is a projected safety or cornerback.  Jonathan is a good tackler who religiously pursues the ball. He has descent size and has the frame to add muscle. At the safety position, he can be a problem for the opposing teams because of his ability to cover and tackle.  Jonathan has good speed and is hard to out run step for step.  He can also be a valuable special teams player,

because of his nose for the ball. Breaks instantly on the pass and takes great angles to make a play on the ball or tries to separate the defender after the catch. Does an excellent job of undercutting the receiver and anticipating where the route will be broken. Very alert and shows field smarts; a lot of natural instincts. . . ..........................        Intangibles                        7 ...    Athleticism                        6      Size                        7   ...  Strength                        6      Quickness                        6      Ball skills                        7      Speed                        7      Cut back                        6      Potential                         8      Technique                         8 Overall score   68
