Sorensen is a pretty solid safety.
And while his 4.67 40 time isn't the greatest (though it was faster than Kendrick Lewis'), he managed to set or tie positional (safety/defensive back) Combine records in the speed/burst drills (shuttles, cones, etc.).
The guy can really turn/change direction and go like a mofo, which is kinda what you want in a safety. He's also got pretty good football instincts. He's textbook on tackles and positioning. He should be an immediate contributor on special teams and viable as a decent backup who has the potential be able to grow into a solid nickle/dime package guy and maybe even a starter.
Personally, I thought Sorensen, along with Wilson, was the best draft pick we made in 2014, and he/they was an UDFA pickup.
If Dorsey could apply what he does in selecting UDFA's to the actual draft picks versus sticking to his board like superglue to skin, we might actually end up with a decent draft versus having to get guys after the draft as UDFAs.
