Strengths

• Good instincts and anticipation reads and reacts with discipline. Dangerous with the ball in his hands.
• Anticipation skills and explosive, downhill burst could make him a star in zone-based scheme.
• Fast and agile, he sticks to receivers and closes on the ball.
• Savvy cover skills to recognize and anticipate routes. Understands what's coming and has good ball skills.
• Has at least adequate straight-line speed and good balance, fluidity to change direction.

Weaknesses

• He's not a tenacious tacker and plays the position with a wide receiver's mentality.
• He overcomes his lack of bulk with a sharp jaw and fighter's approach but can be overmatched against NFL-caliber #1 receivers.
• Can leap but his size will be detrimental in box-out situations. Bites on play-action and isn't always in tune with rest of secondary.
• Fails to maintain inside technique in man coverage. Not a press corner.
• Somewhat small, will give up catches to big receivers even when he has tight coverage. Does not consistently deliver a stout chuck in press coverage.
