Strengths:
Very tough and physical...Excellent instincts and awareness...Does an outstanding job against the run...Will deliver the big hit...Very smooth with good range...Has the ability to match up in coverage...Active and is always around the action...Decent hands and ball skills...Very productive...Hard worker...Has a lot of experience...True team leader.
Weaknesses:
Just average timed speed and quickness...Lacks a burst to close...Can be too aggressive at times...Needs to get stronger...Doesn't always take proper angles...Has some trouble in space and will miss tackles...Will struggle to man up pro wideouts...Didn't face a lot of elite competition.
Notes:
A four-year starter in the MAC...Was named a captain in 2007 and 2008...Brother, Greg Joseph, plays safety at Florida Atlantic...Second Team All-MAC as a junior and First Team All-MAC as a senior...Was the Broncos leading tackler in 2008...A dynamic safety with a well-rounded game who stands out in run and pass defense...Had a terrific senior campaign and really improved his draft stock...Physical tools are basically adequate across the board and his intangibles are top-notch...Eerily similar in many ways to Tyrell Johnson, who was an early 2nd round pick of the Minnesota Vikings in the 2008 NFL Draft.
