Pros

• Size
  Bigger and longer than typical safeties with a well-built frame
• Fluidity"
  Clean movement patterns that allow him to trigger against the run or mirror pass catchers
• Physicality
  Omnipresent physical play that is felt every time he makes contact with a ball carrier

Cons

• Eye Discipline
  Bites on PA and misdirection, leaving openings behind him. Will need to develop his play recognition
• Open Field tackling
  Poor launch angles and dives without his pads using pure eyes and missing lower limbs or aiming far too high
• Recovery Speed
  If he bites it’s over as he has trouble making up for a mistake, further emphasizing the need to clean up his eye discipline

Eval:

Brade is a versatile defender who plays with a physical play style and athleticism.

Teams will want him to clean up his eyes as he lacks the recovery speed to make up for some of his gambles but he has desirable traits and great measurables that teams covet

Floor Comp: Dane Belton

Physical specimen who needs to develop within the parameters of the position.

Ceiling Comp: Anderson Sendejo

Instinctual player that can carve out a niche as fast and physical defender.
