Strengths

• Good quickness off the line. Has size and quickness to get off NFL press.
• Good effort and technique as a blocker for his size. Can beat the press with elusiveness or physical contact. Runs crisp routes with sharp cuts.
• Does a nice job locating and tracking deep passes and is a legitimate vertical threat. Willing to go up and attack the ball.
• Has good body strength to squirm out of tackles with the coordination to maneuver his frame between defenders.
• Does not have exceptional straight-line speed but takes advantage of open seams when his quarterback is on target.
• Does not possess top breakaway speed, though he's rarely caught from behind.
• A versatile weapon, proving to be effective inside in the slot and outside on the perimeter. Makes plays at all levels of the field.
• He catches the ball with his large, soft hands and is tough. Deceptive jets and a smooth route runner.

Weaknesses

• Not a burner or consistent vertical threat. Has a lanky frame and will be overmatched physically by most cornerbacks in the NFL. Needs to be more competitive in tight coverage.
• Does not always use his hands to secure deep throws, allowing the ball into his pads and chest.
