For those who might be interested in an outside evaluation, here is what PFF has to say. BTW for those that don't like PFF, that's fine....we get it. No need to comment.
Top Preseason Grades: Safeties | ProFootballFocus.com
5. Roy Finch, NE: +3.2
Breakdown: Being buried on the Patriots depth chart, the undrafted free agent hasn’t let than slow him down, grading well in both the run and pass game in limited opportunities. Has made multiple players miss with the ball in his hands as both a receiver and runner.
Signature Play: NE @ WAS, Q4, 2:00: Made a tough catch on a quick screen that didn’t have perfect ball placement before making a couple of moves to maximize yardage.
1. Brian Tyms, NE: +5.5
Breakdown: Showed a lot in the opener with a +3.7 receiving grade and is tied atop the list with three preseason deep-ball catches on four catchable balls, two of which went for scores. Making a case for regular-season playing time once he returns from suspension.
Signature Play: Got position and hauled in a leaping grab over CB Curtis Marsh before getting his feet down in the back corner of the end zone (against Philadelphia, 3Q 5:20) for his second touchdown of the year.
2. Cameron Fleming, NE, +4.2
Breakdown: The fourth-round rookie from Stanford has the second-highest pass-blocking grade among right tackles to this point and a clean sheet, giving up no pressure on 42 pass-blocking snaps. Seems to be fitting in well.
Signature Stat: Fleming is one of 12 offensive tackles with at least 25 pass-blocking snaps (119 qualifying OTs) who haven’t yet given up a pressure.
