I was intrigued by the writeup on Troy Nolan in today's Chronicle. Seems he's made a bit of an impression on the staff with his understanding and knowledge of his assignments and positional responsibilities. He was also described as a "ballhawk". What really caught my attention though is : "For his brief time he was competing last camp, Nolan quickly earned a reputation as one of the hardest hitters on the roster".
He's a 6'-2", 207 lb strong safety, but is also playing free safety behind Wilson.
What's the chances of his winning the starting free safety position? Wilson seems to be adequate, but nothing special, so could Nolan be an upgrade? Only has "marginal" 40 time around 4.65 (Wilson about 4.5). I would rate him as an intriguing prospect.
