Strengths

• Quicker than he is fast but has a burst to close in zone coverage and plays physical at the line in man.
• Reads the QB and gets good breaks on the ball. Bigger hitter than his slight frame implies. Closes quickly and generates explosion.
• Good instincts and anticipation reads and reacts with discipline. Dangerous with the ball in his hands.
• Good strength to tackle. Plays with high energy and is a tough-minded overachiever.
• Possesses good straight-line speed, fluid hips to turn and run, and explosiveness out of his breaks. Good vision and anticipation as a free safety.

Weaknesses

• Not an explosive player and needs to show better bend and flexibility in his drops - plays too high.
• Takes poor angles on the ball and lacks the pure speed to chase down the ballcarrier.
• Has tense ankles and hips with choppy footwork when attempting to redirect and doesn't always look natural changing directions.
• Needs work on backpedaling to prevent defenders from getting behind him.
• Has very inconsistent tackling technique and too often just throws himself at the lower body of the ballcarrier instead of wrapping up.
