He has been an ace special teamer. That alone should solidify his roster spot. He has way more athleticism than Stone and more than Battle. 

RAS: Anderson 9.49, Battle 8.98, Stone 3.81, Anthony 6.58.

Let's just hope that he's learned and adapted enough to the pro game that he can actually step up and claim a spot.

For sure, big fast Safeties like Tycen are always intriguing. Just like Emmanwori this last draft. Tycen isn't that big, but he is big enough
and with his speed and range we thought he would be special once he got a chance. This might be it. But like I said, Geno Stone sucked
last year and the coaches didn't give Tycen a shot.

We have new defensive coaches, though, so it is possible if Tycen plays lights out this PS.

Sure seems like it. I know Tycen had some rough plays in OTA's but it matters much more how you play this time of year.

Well to be fair, Stone started excelling once Lou made changes to the defense. Stone then started looking more like himself.

True, but he still wasn't a very good tackler and just is blessed with good hands to make interceptions being his one gift.

Geno lucks into a lot of interceptions too, I just really like Tycen and if Geno struggles we might have the guy to fall back on in the room.

This is a good thing as Marv used to say lol

Yes, I hope Anderson shines as well, because I do not see Stone as a long term solution. 

We did trade UP to get him, correct?
