Strengths

• Reads the QB and gets good breaks on the ball. Bigger hitter than his slight frame implies. Closes quickly and generates explosion.
• 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.
• Gives up his body in run support with a very good closing burst.
• Lean, athletic build with plenty of room for additional muscle mass. Legitimate NFL-caliber athlete.
• Quicker than he is fast but has a burst to close in zone coverage and plays physical at the line in man.

Weaknesses

• Has very inconsistent tackling technique and too often just throws himself at the lower body of the ballcarrier instead of wrapping up.
• Has a cornerback body and needs to continue to get stronger to be more effective shedding blocks.
• Needs work on backpedaling to prevent defenders from getting behind him.
• Short stature will hurt him in jump-ball situations against taller, stronger NFL receivers.
• Lacks the bulk and size to hold up against linemen inside at the next level. Will leave his feet or duck his head at times, leading to missed tackles.
