Rashad Torrence II

Evaluation

Andrew Wilbar: Torrence is a true downhill safety that possesses great closing speed, impressive quickness, and good functional strength. The downside is that he plays stiff and struggles to come up with splash plays for the defense. I do like his footwork, and he is consistent in man coverage, but as good as he can be coming downhill to make plays against the run, he needs to add more weight to consistently bring down bigger ball-carriers. He is a relatively fluid mover, but when he does get beat deep, he struggles to recover, as he lacks ideal recovery speed. At the end of the day, there is definitely starter potential here, but technical issues in his game may limit him to special teams early on.
