What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2022 NFL Draft?

I am great at block shedding that leads into me making tackles. I can play both safety positions as well as playing nickel. Very versatile safety that is willing to learn anything taught. I’ve always been taught to be a sponge that there is something I don’t know that can make my game much better.
