Atlanta Falcons Drafted: 2021: ROUND: 2 - Pick Number: 40 (ATL)
Strengths
  • Good strength to tackle. Plays with high energy and is a tough-minded overachiever.
  • Good instincts and anticipation reads and reacts with discipline. Dangerous with the ball in his hands.
  • Quicker than he is fast but has a burst to close in zone coverage and plays physical at the line in man.
Weaknesses
  • Takes poor angles on the ball and lacks the pure speed to chase down the ballcarrier.
  • Needs to tighten his angles in pursuit. Needs to show better tackling technique to consistently finish.
  • Has a cornerback body and needs to continue to get stronger to be more effective shedding blocks.
  • Has very inconsistent tackling technique and too often just throws himself at the lower body of the ballcarrier instead of wrapping up.
  • Not an explosive player and needs to show better bend and flexibility in his drops - plays too high.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
