Ball-Hawking Cyclone DB with Big-Play Juice
Steve Paris was a disruptive Iowa State defensive back who showed real playmaking instincts in the 2005 season, including an interception-filled outing and a 66-yard fumble return touchdown against Colorado. He stood out for range, opportunistic hands, and an ability to turn chaos into points — the kind of DB who can swing momentum in one snap. The tradeoff was that his most visible impact came in bursts, so he profiles best as a high-energy, takeaway-minded defender rather than a pure shutdown corner.
