Ourlads' Profile:
2019 Guide: What Ourlads' Scouting Services said about LUKAS DENIS: Boston College, 5112 190 4.67. Two year starter from Everett, MA. Was a corner until 2017. Denis has experience in quarters, halves and man coverage. He shows deliberate initial reactions taking a shuffle read step before reacting. Quick once he makes his read with explosive movement downhill. Tracks well moving forward adjusting in space. Has range in pursuit with quickness and extended speed. Flashes tackling skill. Willing to lay a hit. Mirrors movement and is rarely out of position. Fluid hips in transition with the speed to cover deep. Around the ball a lot. Solid route recognition, showing the ability to balance deep routes in halves coverage. Takes proper angles over the top and has the range to get to a deep vertical route. Very good ball skills showing the ability to high point the interception. Battles receivers for balls timing his leap and hands at the catch point. Has match-up skill and can cut off route breaks versus a slot receiver. Occasionally hesitates on deep crossing route from the deep middle. Undersized for the position and can get rocked by a physical back when tackling. Can get dragged and give up yards after contact. Will occasionally dive and miss. Needs to get stronger. A productive cover safety with playmaking skill. He has cover skills NFL teams covet and could have a sub package/special team future. 2018 stats: 49 T, .5 TFL, .5 sack, 2 PBU, 1 FF, 1 INT (1 TD). BTR:left 4.76, right 5.05. OSR:16/ 24. Sixth/seventh round. (A-31 1/4, H-9 1/2, VJ-33.5, SS-4.09).
