Overview

Unfortunately, Joiner's senior year was not what he hoped it would be. His numbers (64 tackles, four for loss, two interceptions and four passes broken up) were not terrible, but an off-field incident involving his girlfriend's car (felony burglary charges were later dropped) was the most significant event of the season. Still, he's a solid strong safety who should get a shot in training camp to show he belongs.

Analysis

Positives: Adequate size and speed for strong safety … Vocal leader on the field … Strong in-the-box presence, and goes through the ballcarrier when making a stop … Will take out fullback in the hole … Should be a good special teams player with more than adequate speed and toughness.

Negatives: Stiff in the hips, will struggle to change directions with slot receivers or running backs in space … Not great at keeping blockers off his feet … Takes poor angles on runs and in deep coverage, leading to big plays … Comes hard on blitz, but lacks strength to beat blocks on the way … Also lacks strength to get off tight end blocks on the edge … Will whiff on tackles in the open field if the play is not directly in front of him … Likes to talk trash.

High School

Rated as the 25th-best prospect in the state of Florida in SuperPrep's All-America issue … Ranked as the 20th-best safety prospect in the nation by Rivals.com … Ranked as the 13th-best safety in the country by TheInsiders.com … Ranked 42nd on TheInsiders.com South Hot 100 … Over last two seasons of high school, Joiner recorded 200 tackles and 10 interceptions … In his high school, he played quarterback, linebacker and wide receiver for the football team as also earned varsity letters in baseball and basketball … Selected first-team all-county along with Florida's first-team all-state … Selected for 2003 CaliFlorida Bowl, where he had a standout performance in recording nine tackles, four pass breakups, three tackles for a loss, and one interception … Runs a 4.58 40-yard dash … LSU, Ole Miss, North Carolina and N.C. State were among his choices … Cousin of former Gator Larry Kendrick … Also a pro prospect in baseball.
