OVERALL

Highly aggressive and competitive player. That aggression can be both a strength and a weakness as it has taken him out of plays and games, but at the same time helped position him to make plays. Blair will be able to take a role as a special team player early in his career while providing depth throughout the secondary.  

GRADE: 5.99 (ROUND 3-4 - FUTURE STARTER)  

PRO COMPARISON: Chris Conte
