Strengths

• Trusts his eyes with very good awareness. Has very good reaction skills to break quickly on the ball.
• Savvy cover skills to recognize and anticipate routes. Understands what's coming and has good ball skills.
• Aware in the red zone, stays on the back line to take away fade throws. Capable of making quarterbacks pay for late throws.
• 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.

Weaknesses

• Struggles to break down in space and can be a liability against the run at the second level.
• Needs to tighten his angles in pursuit. Needs to show better tackling technique to consistently finish.
• Lacks the recovery speed to catch receivers if he waits for them to arrive.
• Has tense ankles and hips with choppy footwork when attempting to redirect and doesn't always look natural changing directions.
• Will slip off tackles and needs to finish more consistently.
