Game Film Evaluated:

Auburn (2014)

Pros: Has some closing burst. Excellent size for a strong run support type safety. Broad frame and is light on his feet. Good athlete and has impressive speed.

Cons: Not aggressive type safety, passive. Does not locate ball well, turn for it nor to make a play on it. Cannot get off blocks nor fill the hole in the run game inside. Misses few tackles, not a striker.

Senior Bowl Report: Another local favorite this week has been local boy JAQUISKI TARTT/S #6, from Samford. He’s a nice sized S at 6’013, 220 lbs, 10 1/8″ hands. He started slowly but with extended reps and playing opportunities he was a guy who was on the field a lot this afternoon in 11-on-11 goal line work. He actually ended the practice with a leaping INT in the end zone. Watch for him to do well in the actual game this weekend. He looks to have positioned himself well heading toward the Combine. I think he will test well at the Combine and be a possible Top 100 draftee this year.

Summary: Jacquiski Tartt is a major prospect and will require a great deal of patience to make an impact if ever in the NFL. Often small school type prospects dominated the lower levels and have to learn to win with technique but Tartt never dominated his level nor was he a extreme leap over the competition in terms of athleticism. I don’t project Tartt to be anything more than a special teams player unless he can be a more impressive and aggressive type safety. He tries to play like a cover 1 type safety but his frame suggest he is a box safety. 5^th round pick.
