Sims, David Iowa State 5093 200 4.53
Two-year starter. Junior college transfer from Butte Community

Was the 2009 Big-12 Newcomer of the Year. A better than
average athlete who is a good open field tackler and run support
player. Competitive with good foot quickness. Will struggle in
the slot with a mismatch of tall receivers. Built like a running
back. Generally takes good angles to the ball and will hit and
wrap. Needs to drop his butt when backpedaling. Will get too
high at times and has wasted steps in transition. Has borderline
measurables and pro physical skills. Will contribute as a backup
punt and kickoff return specialist. Good special teams player.
