Ar'Darius Washington S TCU Scouting Report

Strengths

• Closes to the ball quite well and possesses the hands to snatch throws away from his frame.
• Good instincts and anticipation reads and reacts with discipline. Dangerous with the ball in his hands.
• Aware in the red zone, stays on the back line to take away fade throws. Capable of making quarterbacks pay for late throws.

Weaknesses

• Has tense ankles and hips with choppy footwork when attempting to redirect and doesn't always look natural changing directions.
• Short stature will hurt him in jump-ball situations against taller, stronger NFL receivers.
• Needs work on backpedaling to prevent defenders from getting behind him.
• Lacks the bulk and size to hold up against linemen inside at the next level. Will leave his feet or duck his head at times, leading to missed tackles.
• Can leap but his size will be detrimental in box-out situations. Bites on play-action and isn't always in tune with rest of secondary.
