They talk about likely first-round safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren and his time at Toledo, where he fit in that defense, and his potential role at the next level.
The 6’3. 5”, 201-pounder is a sure tackler who hits hard, has good instincts, and was always around the ball during his time at Toledo. Feldkamp says that McNeil-Warren “impacted the game in a variety of ways,” and he made plays at “multiple levels.
