Strengths

• Gives up his body in run support with a very good closing burst.
• Trusts his eyes with very good awareness. Has very good reaction skills to break quickly on the ball.
• A coordinated athlete with good footwork and balance. A heady cover player with above-average · feel and anticipation in space.
• Quicker than he is fast but has a burst to close in zone coverage and plays physical at the line in man.
• Has at least adequate straight-line speed and good balance, fluidity to change direction.

Weaknesses

• Has tense ankles and hips with choppy footwork when attempting to redirect and doesn't always look natural changing directions.
• 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.
• Inconsistent getting off of blocks. Can be a step slow to react when a quarterback comes back to his side of the field late in progression.
• Needs work on backpedaling to prevent defenders from getting behind him.
• Lacks the recovery speed to catch receivers if he waits for them to arrive.
