Strengths
- Always seems to find the ball quickly enough to at least get a hand on it. Not afraid to stick his nose into traffic against the run despite his size.
- An athletic but narrow-based corner with a lean frame,
- Should excel as a zone defender because of his closing speed to wrap receivers after the catch.
- Stout and feisty. Will engage, shed and securely wrap the ballcarrier. Very fluid hips, backpedal and change-of-direction agility.
- Savvy cover skills to recognize and anticipate routes. Understands what's coming and has good ball skills.
Weaknesses
- Needs to get stronger. Too easily lost in the trash. Not a sudden athlete and shows body stiffness when attempting to quickly redirect.
- Fails to maintain inside technique in man coverage. Not a press corner.
- Has a high backpedal and loses a step in transition. Plays with adequate speed but there are concerns about his ability to handle the truly explosive speedsters of the NFL.
- Struggles to break down in space and can be a liability against the run at the second level.
- Not an explosive player and needs to show better bend and flexibility in his drops - plays too high.

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.
