PRO’S
To’oTo’o will be bringing a lot of experience with him to the next level, having played over 3199 snaps, 1300 against the run, 290 rushing the passer and 1500 defending the pass. Tough player that relies on grit, power and instincts. Henry flips his hips smoothly, good at picking up crossing receivers/tight ends and getting in their pocket. Henry is very physical at the point of contact and will hit you with everything he’s got if given the opportunity. Impressed with his ability to create full impact from short distances without much of a running start.
CON’S
Often times gets caught looking in the back field and misdiagnosing the play. Henry has the build of a box safety, which is not ideal for a middle linebacker. To’oTo’o doesn’t do a good job of avoiding getting washed while making his reads, affecting his ability to get to the ball carrier once he is ready to react. Runs a little erratic when closing on the ball carrier or quarterback, these wasted movements slow him down.
OVERALL
To’oTo’o is very undersized and does not have the athletic measurables to make up for what he lacks in size. Ideally, a player of his size who has the aggressive nature To’oTo’o possesses along with good hips and decent coverage instincts would switch to a strong safety role at the next level but I question whether or not Henry is quick enough as a space player to convert. To’oTo’o is physical enough and experienced enough to play at the next level but he needs to develop recognizing and diagnosing what the offense is doing.
