"Trill's a 6-1, 200 pound safety that plays physical, plays in a good defense, understands the game. I just think he doesn't have the elite traits. He doesn't have that special quality that stands out like the other two guys do. He's a solid football player. I think he's draftable. I think it'll be late. I think he can be a priority free agent at the very least.
"I think he's a guy that comes in has a chance to contribute on special teams. If not that, he certainly finds himself on a practice squad and he continues to work on his skillset before he becomes a regular player in the NFL. I think Trill -- I think he'll make a roster and he'll contribute on special teams. He's going to have to get to camp and he's going to have to show the traits the NFL teams are looking for in order to make that roster but I think he'll do it."
