McDaniel, DeAndre Clemson 6001 217 4.65
Three-year starter who had eight interceptions and 102 tackles in
2009. Quick to key and diagnose a play. Good vision. Reportedly
spends several extra hours on his own to study tape during the
week. Physically and mentally tough. Aggressive and competitive
in his play. Explosive on run support. Good body control to make
a tackle. Quick reactions to play off blocks and get in on play.
Always around the ball. Makes plays in space. In 2008 he played a
linebacker/safety hybrid position. In 2009 he played both free and
strong safety concepts. He does a good job of disguising coverage
by moving around, going forward, and then backing up and getting
into position. Smooth and fluid in coverage. Quick feet with a
closing burst. Good ball skills and ball reactions. Plays with attitude
and confidence. Has some red flags.
