Falcons S Jessie Bates<\/a> III was voted as the fifth-best safety in a poll of NFL coaches and execs: \u201cInstincts and ball skills have allowed him to play at a high level for a long time,\u201d an NFL coordinator said. \u201cThat\u2019s why his game is aging well. He\u2019s just got a knack for being around the ball.\u201d (Jeremy Fowler<\/a>) Panthers S Tre\u2019von Moehrig<\/a> received an honorable mention in a top-10 safeties list voted on by coaches and execs around the league: \u201cOne of the most versatile players in the league. He can play safety, dime or nickel. Really good rusher. He can blitz, take on blocks like an OLB and an LB and can also be productive in the deep part of the field,\u201d an NFL DBs coach said. (Jeremy Fowler<\/a>) Saints WR coach Keith Williams<\/a> outlined the early phases of WR Chris Olave<\/a> and first-round WR Jordyn Tyson\u2019s relationship. It was clear Tyson has immense respect for Olave, and the studies Tyson has done on Olave\u2019s film helped jump-start a friendship.<\/p>\n \u201cHe respects Chris, which is good,\u201d Williams said, via ESPN\u2019s Katherine Terrell<\/a>. \u201cC.O. has kind of studied his game from the side, and so they kind of established a little buddy friendship already.\u201d<\/p>\n Olave can\u2019t wait for the opportunities they can create for each other since both are big-play threats.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s huge, man. It opens up everything,\u201d Olave said. \u201cThey can\u2019t play two over me or they can\u2019t play cloud coverage or stuff like that. I feel like they going to have to respect everybody. \u2026 We\u2019ve got multiple weapons on the outside. \u2026 We got a lot of guys that could add in and use some production. So I feel like it\u2019s going to be great for everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n Looking for the latest NFL Insider News & Rumors?<\/p>\n Be sure to follow NFL Trade Rumors<\/a> on X.com<\/a>\u00a0and FACEBOOK<\/a>\u00a0for breaking NFL News and Rumors for all 32 teams!<\/p>\n
\n\u201cHe\u2019s lost a little bit of speed \u2014 that\u2019s the only knock on him,\u201d an NFL personnel evaluator said. (Fowler)
\nAtlanta S Xavier Watts<\/a> received an honorable mention on this list as well: \u201cHe has a chance to be one of the best safeties in the league. [He] has very similar qualities to his running mate [Bates],\u201d an NFL coordinator said. (Fowler)<\/p>\n
\nCarolina LB Devin Lloyd<\/a> came in as the 10th-best off-ball linebacker by coaches and execs around the NFL: \u201cPhysical run player, love his length in zone to get his hands on the football,\u201d an NFC exec said. \u201cNot as effective in man. Can blitz and rush and is versatile.\u201d (Fowler<\/a>)\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
