Strengths

• Aware zone cornerback who is also adept in man coverage, flashing physical hand punch at the line and straight-line speed to stay with receivers downfield.
• Good hustle player who puts himself in the action when he's not directly involved. Knows how to use his height and vertical leap.
• Can deliver the big hit and isn't afraid to jump inside to slow the ball.
• Very aggressive attacking receiver blocks and tackles like a safety.
• Stout and feisty. Will engage, shed and securely wrap the ballcarrier. Very fluid hips, backpedal and change-of-direction agility.
• Willing and successful blitzing off the edge. Consideration for a move to safety with a combination of range and sure tackling.
• Extremely aggressive to come up and put his body in traffic to make tackles.
• Has an NFL frame with strong hands, the ability to close quickly on underneath routes and the size to tackle with a thump.

Weaknesses

• Has a high backpedal and loses a step in transition. Plays with adequate speed but there are concerns about his ability to handle the truly explosive speedsters of the NFL.
• Willing but not threatening tackler. Doesn't have the quick-twitch reaction when he gears down to rebuild to top speed. More instinctive than explosive.
