San Diego State SS Nat Berhe is a bit undersized, but he doesn’t feel that will be a problem since he likes to hit and made plenty of tackles in college. ‘Football is a game of leverage and I play with great leverage. I stay low. I was able to play five yard in the box and make a ton of plays. Getting off guards and tackles has never been an issue for me,’ Berhe said at the NFL Scouting Combine.
