Summary
Yale’s Abu Kamara, starting NKL/DS. Very good wt/lgth/AA and average ht. 4 yr player & 3 yr starter. Very good versatility and instincts, good man and zone awareness, range, and field vision. Improved strength should enhance tackling and block shedding, while deep coverage also needs work. He could replace Stone in the top four as we potentially move on, compete with Kilgore for DS3 while offering greater special teams upside. By Year 3, his floor is a rotational big nickel and core teamer.
