Strengths
- 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.
- Savvy using his hands to get to the ball without drawing flags. Willing tackler and high-effort leader.
- Quicker than he is fast but has a burst to close in zone coverage and plays physical at the line in man.
- Flashes intimidating attitude and will crush tiptoeing receivers across the middle.
- Has an NFL frame with strong hands, the ability to close quickly on underneath routes and the size to tackle with a thump.
Weaknesses
- Needs to improve his footwork and balance in coverage. Transitions out of his backpedal too early and doesn't look natural moving in reverse.
- Questionable technique and he gets lazy with fundamentals, sometimes getting high in his backpedal and will breach the coverage call seeking flashy plays
- Opens his hips too early and allows himself to get turned around in coverage.
- 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.
