Strengths

• 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.
• Closes to the ball quite well and possesses the hands to snatch throws away from his frame.
• Good instincts and anticipation reads and reacts with discipline. Dangerous with the ball in his hands.
• Reads the QB and gets good breaks on the ball. Bigger hitter than his slight frame implies. Closes quickly and generates explosion.
• Aware in the red zone, stays on the back line to take away fade throws. Capable of making quarterbacks pay for late throws.

Weaknesses

• Not an explosive player and needs to show better bend and flexibility in his drops - plays too high.
• 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.
• Needs to get stronger. Too easily lost in the trash. Not a sudden athlete and shows body stiffness when attempting to quickly redirect.
• Inconsistent getting off of blocks. Can be a step slow to react when a quarterback comes back to his side of the field late in progression.
• Needs to tighten his angles in pursuit. Needs to show better tackling technique to consistently finish.
