• Physical downfield and matches up well with bigger receivers. Tough and fiery with very good competitiveness. High-effort player.
• Flashes some physicality as a hitter.
• Transitions well from coverage to close on the ball. Strong hands, quick reactions for the interceptions.

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.
• Has an NFL frame with strong hands, the ability to close quickly on underneath routes and the size to tackle with a thump.
• Needs to tighten his angles in pursuit. Needs to show better tackling technique to consistently finish.
• Needs to improve his footwork and balance in coverage. Transitions out of his backpedal too early and doesn't look natural moving in reverse.
