- Very good instincts, especially in the box. Sound and solid tackler. Takes good angles in pursuit.
- While built more like a cornerback than a safety, he has the vision, range, hitting ability, and ball skills teams want at free safety in the pass-heavy NFL.
- Has good trajectory assessment on the thrown ball, breaks quickly and has decent ball skills
- Trusts his eyes with very good awareness. Has very good reaction skills to break quickly on the ball.
