Scouting Report: Strengths
- Plays with the natural balance and ultra-quick feet to mirror underneath, and he’s tremendous at reading routes and reading quarterbacks.
- Fluid mover with decent speed and his length allows him to cover effectively downfield
- Tracks the ball well and has the natural ball skills for forcing turnovers.
- Tracks the ball well downfield and shows good ball skills, including the ability to go up and high-point it in contested-catch situations.
- Explodes out of his backpedal and has the hands and coordination to force interceptions.
- Riley has the straight-line speed to recover. His ball skills are tremendous, with good hands and the potential to take it to the house any time Riley gets his hands on the ball.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Tends to play conservatively and give too much cushion when playing off.
- Like a lot of collegiate corners, Riley has a tendency to get grabby, something that will have to be coached out of him.
- Susceptible to the big plays as a gambler at the catch point and as a catch-and-run victim. He’s also too reluctant to come up and make hits in run support, often focusing on the strip more than the tackle.
