Draft Rewind 2013 – Kenny Vaccaro – New Orleans Saints

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about KENNY VACCARO: Texas, 6000 214 4.62. Three-year starter who has also been a special teams’ coverage dynamo since his freshman year. An impact hitter in the open field and on the blitz. Explosive hitter to and through the ball carrier. When tackling he will throw his body at the ball carrier. Anticipates with good reaction, toughs, aggressiveness, and is competitive. Plays at a high level regardless of the opponent. Top end acceleration and speed. Fills the inside running lanes with aggressiveness. On run support he plays off blocks, squares up, and tackles. Physical take on safety who uses his hands, sheds, and stays on his feet. Good timing on blitzes where he pressures the quarterback and is disruptive in the backfield. Instant burst to quarterback. Good body control to work his way through traffic and make a play. Plays at 10 yards deep or walks up and plays nose to nose on the slot. Smooth in his turns. Keeps good position on receivers. Good leaping ability. Goes for the strip. Accepts a challenge. A reactive player who closes quickly on the ball carrier. Plays up in the nickel package. A confident and daring player. May be overly aggressive at times and play out of control as a tackler. Plays faster than timed speed. A first year starter who should provide impact play. 2012 stats: 104 T, 5 PBU, 2 INT, 2 FF, 1 FR. BTR:left 4.51, right 4.50. OSR:8/21. First/second round.
