He uses his shoulder pad and wraps up perfectly every time for the perfect form tackle every time. He sits back in pass coverage and keeps good position to either fill on screens, or turn and run deep with the vertical route. He takes good angles to the ballcarrier and gets to the tackle as soon as possible. <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2Ftr9Y">Junior Season</a> [player_tooltip player_id="276835" first="Jacob" last="Mayer"]- Pierre TF Riggs Mayer was a pretty good strong safety looking player.
