Strengths
- Willing and successful blitzing off the edge. Consideration for a move to safety with a combination of range and sure tackling.
- Attacks the ball with authority, with quick read-and-react ability. Willing and physical tackler, flashes toughness and aggressive nature vs. the run.
- Savvy cover skills to recognize and anticipate routes. Understands what's coming and has good ball skills.
- 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.
- A coordinated athlete with good footwork and balance. A heady cover player with above-average · feel and anticipation in space.
Weaknesses
- Lacks instincts with shaky awareness, is overaggressive and too often bites on fakes and misdirection.
- Lacks the recovery speed to catch receivers if he waits for them to arrive.
- Has suspect instincts in coverage and needs to show better pre snap recognition.
- Vulnerable to big plays trying to bait the quarterback.
- 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.
