Rice Cornerback with Ball-Hawking Instincts
Andrew Bird completed his four-year tenure at Rice as a reliable defensive back, recording 34 solo tackles, 3 assists, and 2 interceptions. The 6-1, 170-pound cornerback from Fort Worth, Texas brings solid size for the position and demonstrated ball-production ability with his interception total. Bird's length and frame suggest potential for press coverage and contested catch situations. His consistency over four seasons indicates durability and commitment, though modest tackle numbers suggest he may be better suited for a scheme emphasizing coverage over run support. Best fit for programs valuing developmental cornerbacks with upside in pass defense.
