Outlook for 2015

Considering it's not likely that fellow UDFA safety Isaiah Johnson will make the 53-man roster, it's even more unlikely that there will be room for Suite. I could see him earning a spot on the practice squad with a strong performance on special teams, but that's probably his best-case scenario for 2015 unless a bunch of injuries pile up at safety.
