Scouting Notes

Cost is exactly the kind of proven, unglamorous starter the scale rewards modestly: a two-year nickel/safety with real ball production (64 tackles in 2024, then 45 tackles, an INT and 5 PBUs in 2025). He drew a passing 'standout' scouting mention. I see a priority-UDFA-caliber college vet — dependable, but without the traits to project as a draft lock.
