MVP of the 2019 Las Vegas Bowl and son of former NFL cornerback Alex Molden (Saints amongst others). A smaller cornerback likely to play in the slot - shifty and 'quick' with a great work ethic - has great instincts and football smarts and is able to do a great job of mirroring receivers - some teams may be wary of his physical attributes but he has the ability to be a great asset as a nickel back.
A corner that has safety and nickel versatility. He lacks ideal height but is compact while having good overall athletic ability displayed by an explosive closing burst, lateral agility, change of direction skills, and fluid hips to flip to assist with his very good transitions. He has ok speed although can be beaten by speed receivers. He possesses pro quickness, which is required for slot defenders. He has a low, stance and has active hands despite only being average in press situations due to having shorter arms. He plays with exceptional competitive toughness and was a team leader for the Huskies. A true competitor with all the intangibles you could ever want.
