| Sean Cattouse Scouting Report |
| Sean Cattouse - California (HT: 6-2⅛ - WT: 211) |
Positives -- Former cornerback who made the transition to safety for the Golden Bears, has some natural cover ability, can play both free and strong safety... His height and frame will make him attractive to scouts, has the ability to matchup with bigger players on the inside of formations... Shows
enough physical ability to shadow tight ends and cover them well... Prototypical in the box safety, plays better close to the line of scrimmage and in close quarters... Is able to make plays with hustle and good angles from his safety spot... Has good pop in his pads, is big enough to jar the ball loose and punish opposing ball carriers... Could fit as a situational nickel corner to match up with the bigger tight ends... As a former corner, looks good in press man coverage; change of direction and fluidity in coverage are reasonably good, has good hips and quick feet... Was one of the more consistent players for California on defense; an honorable mention All-Pac-12 choice of the league's coaches.
Negatives -- Lacks the top end speed to play center field and run from sideline to sideline, 4.74-40 at the combine was among the slowest of participating defensive backs... Plays catch-up in coverage too much and struggles to recover when beat deep, doesn't possess a second gear to run down opponents... Backpedal will turn into shuffles, so his hips are turned and he gives up the inside... Can be slow to read and react, doesn't make enough impact plays from the safety position... Need to become a better form tackler, struggles bringing his hips through and wrapping up upon contact... Plays the majority of time in the box because he struggles in zone coverage, can be exposed by quicker players.
