Pro Comparison: Darius Phillips
Summary
O'Donnell Fortune has good length, but lacks ideal play strength, which creates problems in run defense and bringing ball-carriers to the ground. Fortune has good click-and-close speed, which allows him to maximize his awareness in zone coverage. He is susceptible to double moves because he gets caught peeking in the backfield.
