Scouting Report: Strengths
- Best attribute. Extreme quickness off the edge, has the flexibility to turn the corner.
- Handles misdirection well with quick change-of-direction ability. Comes downhill quickly against the run when he has an open lane.
- Greet feel in coverage. Often arrives at the receiver at the same time as the ball, giving up few yards after the catch. Possesses straight-line speed to stay with or chase down receivers in man.
- Works hard to get better and gives top effort on every play. Heads-up defender who shows good field awareness.
- Will stiff-arm linemen to stay free on some plays. Athletic enough to stay with running backs out of the backfield and knock receivers off crossing routes.
- Gets pressures on inside stunts and was too explosive for college guards to handle.
- Has good balance and short-area burst to stay on his feet through contact
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Often engulfed by NFL-caliber tackles due to his lack of height. Must improve consistency in beating cut blocks.
- Possesses average instincts. More likely to make plays with quick reactions than by diagnosing.
