No thanks. Pass.

If he's 2021 Sorensen, sure.
2016 Sorensen was damn effective against TEs 'while doing that'.
And if you let him on the field w/ a 4 wide formation out there, it's your own damn fault as a DC for not paying attention to who's in the huddle.
Yes, you can avoid that sort of thing. You can't have your 3rd safety just another CB. If that's what you're doing, you're just running a Dime. Your 3rd safety has to be a more physical, versatile DB.
And you're only willing to do that if the guy can ALSO hang with WRs if single covered? Then you're just saying we should never send 3 safeties out there and scrap the heavy nickel in favor of a dime.
I mean...okay. That's an option. It's just not one I'd pursue.
And Sorensen was RARELY put in that blender when he was in the heavy nickel role. His embarrassing moments early in the year came exclusively when he was starting over Thornhill and...
playing single high for some bizarre damn reason.
I just feel like you're clouding the roles here.
