i know that he has started since he was drafted, but is he a good character guy that is worthy of the money the saints are going to give him? i don't really pay much attention to other players that don't wear the black and gold or play the black and gold. he seems kind of small and i know that the colt's defense struggled through the year. is he an upgrade to freddy thomas? man that was a stupid question. I'm problably better than freddy t.

Not a Colts fan, and I dont think we got any here, but here is a scouting report

Comment:
David is a young experience player that is small in stature with good athletic skills. He has good speed and quickness for the DC position. He has been somewhat inconsistent in coverage. He has a quick pedal and he has smooth hips to transition and run with deep vertical routes. He doesn't play to his timed speed and struggles in his recovery ability down the field. He can plant, realign his hips/feet and drive on underneath routes. He has good reactive ability and body position to stay on the hip of the WR on short and intermediate routes. He has pretty good instincts in MM coverage and zone awareness. He has a bad tendency to peek in the backfield and get caught up off play action. He struggles to stay in phase vs. double moves. He has some closing burst and good ball skills underneath in short zones. He has good ball skills. As a run defender, he has the willingness to insert into ball carriers but is not very effective. He is not a good tackler and will go low on ball carrier. He needs to be more consistent as a tackler when forcing from an outside-in position in run support. Overall, David is a 3rd/4th corner for some NFL teams with some value on special teams.
