Christian Pierce

As a College Recruit

Good looking safety prospect with length and range who can patrol the back half of the field as well as come downhill and lay wood in the box. Excellent build that can carry more weight with ease. Should be one of the first prospects off the bus after a year in the weight room. Versatile defender. Can pressure the quarterback coming off the edge, play the flat and bring down ball carriers in space, play the deep half in zone coverage and play man against tight ends and running backs. Lacks ideal long speed to play as a true center fielder in the middle of the field. Has some hip stiffness that can be taken advantage of by shiftier slot receivers. Has a chance to be an early producer on special teams and as a role player. Will be a three-phase safety prospect whose ceiling will be limited by their top-end speed. Still has a chance to become a top 150 NFL draft prospect.
