USC safety Talanoa Hufanga declares for 2021 NFL Draft

USCFootball.com: Talanoa Hufanga is turning pro. The Pac-12 Pat Tillman Defensive Player of the Year announced on Wednesday his intentions to enter the 2021 NFL Draft, foregoing his final two years of eligibility at USC.






 

Hufanga was a prized possession for defensive coordinator Todd Orlando this season because of the 6-foot-1, 215-pound junior safety’s versatility to play at all three levels of the defense. No one since perhaps Hall of Famer Troy Polamalu has been used in such a dynamic way as Orlando used Hufanga during the Covid-shortened 2020 season. In six games, Hufanga lined up in 21 different positional alignments, according to Pro Football Focus.
