It stands to reason Halucy will have a chance to compete for the starting strong safety spot vacated by Nick Cross who signed with the Washington Commanders in free agency.
Here is what I said about about Halucy in my annual draft leak article: A. J. Haulcy LSU- N/A RAS at nearly 6’ 215 Haulcy has the size to play in the void left by Nick Cross.
