Strengths
- Good instincts and anticipation reads and reacts with discipline. Dangerous with the ball in his hands.
- Has at least adequate straight-line speed and good balance, fluidity to change direction.
- Alert defender for zone coverage, showing good understanding of route progressions occurring behind him and a quick burst downhill to break on underneath passes in front of him.
- Aware zone cornerback who is also adept in man coverage, flashing physical hand punch at the line and straight-line speed to stay with receivers downfield.
- Trusts his eyes with very good awareness. Has very good reaction skills to break quickly on the ball.
Weaknesses
- Struggles to break down in space and can be a liability against the run at the second level.
- Will slip off tackles and needs to finish more consistently.
- Needs work on backpedaling to prevent defenders from getting behind him.
- Has suspect instincts in coverage and needs to show better pre snap recognition.
- Vulnerable to big plays trying to bait the quarterback.

*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.
