At 5'9”, 160 pounds, he may not have prototypical size, but he consistently plays bigger than his frame. His instincts and football IQ allow him to stay a step ahead on the back end and near the line of scrimmage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ntawarubara sees the field well. He reads routes, triggers downhill with urgency, and creates havoc in the box. He's also effective on special teams, where his toughness and awareness show up as a gunner.
