Proven starter with glaring coverage issues; bust risk despite new deal.

Predicted as potential 2026 bust despite being a proven starter with versatility; has glaring coverage limitations. In four seasons with Indianapolis Colts, lined up in both safety spots and slot; started every game over last two campaigns. Since 2024, given up nine touchdowns while allowing passer ratings above 99 in back-to-back seasons. Signed to two-year, $13 million deal with Washington Commanders but won't adequately fill the reliable coverage role needed at safety in center field.
