“When it comes to pass coverage, there’s no doubt in my mind he can match up with anyone,” said David Duggan, who worked as the linebackers coach and later became defensive coordinator at Southern Miss from 2008-11.
“I think that when he gets to the NFL, he’ll be able to match up with the tight ends and running backs out of the backfield. Heck, he spent a lot of time matched up on wide receivers when he was here at Southern Miss.”
“When you’re talking about Jamie, it’s important to remember the Patriots are getting a guy who has never played more than a single season at one position,” he added. “This is a kid with HUGE upside. He’s got great strength, he’s fast, he’s explosive and he’s long. He’s got great range and a really good football IQ. This guy is the whole package.”
