Sione Vaki “The Swiss Army Knife” from Utah is one of the biggest sleepers in the NFL draft who I like a lot. His natural position is Safety but he can play RB and be a productive receiving back. You can also call him Mr. Versatility!
Height 6’0 Weight 210
2023 stats (safety): 37 Solo tackles, 1 Interception, 2 Pass defensed and 2 Sacks
2023 stats (Running back): 42 attempts for 317 yards and 2 TDs, he also added 11 receptions for 203 yards and 3 TDs
– Versatility
– Speed and agility (great cuts in the run game)
– Toughness
– Can play as the single high defender, in the slot and in the box at safety
– Successful on both sides of the ball
– Good strength to tackle
– Solid run defender and can make plays against quick screens
– Good awareness and ball skills
– Does a good job at reading the eyes of the quarterback
Vaki is probably the most intriguing prospect in the draft due to his versatility. When he runs he reminds me of D’Andre Swift with his impressive cuts. Prospects like Vaki don’t grow on trees and although he might be a later round pick, with the skill set he provides he will be a great addition to any team that drafts him and can be used in a vary of ways.
