he particulars: 5-11, 197, senior The skinny: Joseph is not the most gifted safety when it comes to coverage skills. But when it comes to punishing opposing players, whether they be wide receivers, running backs, tight ends or quarterbacks, he has no peer in the college game. He excels in run support because it allows him to be physical. The bottom line: Joseph is a tough guy who loves to deliver a big hit (truthfully, he can get a bit sloppy at times because he always is looking for the big hit). He hits a ton; he's a sledgehammer masquerading as a defensive back.
I think Joseph is a very intense player. I would like to see his enthusiasm spread to some of his
defensive teammates. I'm not saying he is alone in his intensity, but that level of focus by more
and more of the defense can only lead to good things on the field.
