Expert Analysis
Brian Jerzak | Prep Redzone Scout
Staples’ pressure on the quarterback forced an underthrown ball. Then, he read a reverse and made a tackle for a short gain. Later, he was at it again, making a great open-field tackle – preventing a long gain.

Read EvaluationBrian Jerzak | Prep Redzone Scout
Staples is most effective when he can operate from space. His athletic ability allows him to cover a lot of ground – both in pass coverage and when defending runs to the outside. That athletic ability helps him get off and avoid blocks at the point of attack – more with finesse than power. His speed and instincts make him impressive dropping into zone coverage. When attacking the line of scrimmage, Staples closes quickly but stays under control and in position. He doesn’t wildly blow by the ball carrier when the runner tries to make a move to shake him.
