Strengths
- Good instincts and anticipation reads and reacts with discipline. Dangerous with the ball in his hands.
- Has at least adequate straight-line speed and good balance, fluidity to change direction.
- Alert defender for zone coverage, showing good understanding of route progressions occurring behind him and a quick burst downhill to break on underneath passes in front of him.
- 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.
- Trusts his eyes with very good awareness. Has very good reaction skills to break quickly on the ball.
Weaknesses
- Struggles to break down in space and can be a liability against the run at the second level.
- Will slip off tackles and needs to finish more consistently.
- Needs work on backpedaling to prevent defenders from getting behind him.
- Has suspect instincts in coverage and needs to show better pre snap recognition.
- Vulnerable to big plays trying to bait the quarterback.
