STRENGTHS
Damarri has excellent athletic talent and size to play his position but his game is all about wearing his opponent down mentally and physically. He is an intimidating tackler and will gladly come up and support the ruin. Don’t misunderstand me, Damarri is an accomplished defensive back. At the same time, he will bite your ear off, like Mike Tyson, to stop a receiver from catching the ball or gaining run after the catch yardage. Damarri can play on the outside but I believe his impact should be as a slot cover corner. His long arms, along with his speed and quickness will allow him to match up against just about any size receiver.
CONCERNS
Damarri’s aggressiveness is a gift and a curse. If his athleticism is being matched on the field by the receiver he is matched up against, his aggressiveness becomes a curse real fast. It’s also hard to trust Damarri when he is in single coverage on the outside because he will guess and jump routes and screw up his footwork off the snap, leading to big plays against him. When he plays in the slot he does less guessing and more reacting. Between the potential penalties and potential big plays against him, the question is, can Damarri learn to be more of an asset than a liability?
BOTTOM LINE: 3.44
Damarri has the talent, size, speed, and quickness but he plays with the recklessness that makes it hard to trust him. If he can become more calculating in using that recklessness, Damari can become a top defensive player and play all over the defense instead of hiding him in the slot and praying he does less damage.
