Brendan Radley-Hiles CB Washington Scouting Report

Strengths

• Fast and agile, he sticks to receivers and closes on the ball.
• Rare hand-eye coordination and agility, vision and third gear to make a living in the return game.
• Should excel as a zone defender because of his closing speed to wrap receivers after the catch.
• Good instincts and anticipation reads and reacts with discipline. Dangerous with the ball in his hands.
• Reads receivers' routes and anticipates throws at the first down marker. Covers a lot of ground in a hurry when in space. Reads the quarterback's eyes and sees the routes very quickly, then has straight-line speed to arrive with or just after the ball.

Weaknesses

• Needs to tighten his angles in pursuit. Needs to show better tackling technique to consistently finish.
• Will slip off tackles and needs to finish more consistently.
• Fails to maintain inside technique in man coverage. Not a press corner.
• He's not a tenacious tacker and plays the position with a wide receiver's mentality.
• Somewhat small, will give up catches to big receivers even when he has tight coverage. Does not consistently deliver a stout chuck in press coverage.
