"In two seasons with the Razorbacks Worth played in 25 games and put up 118 tackles with two tackles for loss and 0.5 sacks. He also had three pass breakups and a forced fumble. He has an interesting build at 6-4, 226 pounds which gives some idea that the team could envision him in a couple of different roles in the LB corps." Yahoo Sports

He played about the same number of snaps at Free Safety as he did LB. (Nick Emmanwori - 6' 3" 223 lbs)

3 year deal for a UDFA? Unique.

Interesting prospect.

All UDFAs get 3yr deals, like all draft picks get 4yr deals.

Interesting pod cast his senior year at Arkansas. Humble, leader, focused.

Thanks AB I wasn't aware of that, I was wondering why they gave him 3 years.

This guy is a heat-seeking missile. Talk about bringing bad intentions to tackling. My goodness He tackles high a lot, but he's 6-4. he really physical.

Thanks. I guess I heard that but forgot about it. The headline caught my eye.

Fro?

Intriguing prospect

I love his physicality!

Is he Worth a shot?

Yes, he is Worthy.

In his interview in the podcast above, he talked about how being a walk-on at Jackson State motivated him. He made the team, became a starter and a captain. He then entered the portal to go to the SEC and Arkansas on his own nickel. Again he fought his way to be a starter and earned a scholarship. You gotta love his will and confidence to succeed. He is a hitter like another Razorback now back with the 49ers - Greenlaw who was a 5th round pick. How much difference is there really between a 5th round pick and UDFA?

Let's hope he is Worth the connection.

Confirmed, Nick Martin BUST.

Another SS/LB hybrid Do we just not care about a cover FS?

I like him already!

Question is, will he be given time to develop or will he get cut or plucked off of our practice squad if he doesn't make the 53 right away?
