Scouting Report: Strengths
- A very quick and very confident cover corner plays bigger than his listed size when lined up in press coverage, delivering quick, surprisingly powerful punches and using his natural quickness and change-of-direction ability to mirror on underneath routes.
- Flashes good ball skills. Shaw has the fluidity and change-of-direction ability to mirror quicker receivers underneath.
- Tracks the ball well downfield and shows good ball skills, including the ability to go up and high-point it in contested-catch situations.
- Shows the click-and-close ability to backpedal and the ball skills to make plays. Shaw has loose hips to go along with good top-end speed, and Shaw can flip around to turn and run in coverage.
- Has a nice blend of length, speed, and quickness. He’s at his best mirroring routes underneath, showing fluid movement skills and the ability to change directions on a dime.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Susceptible to double moves, though that could be coached out of him. But the problem is that Shaw doesn’t track the ball downfield, and he seems to lack the ball skills to break up plays.
- Gave up far too many big plays in college, especially concerning since he has recovery speed to make up for missteps.
- Shaw runs well, but he doesn’t have elite recovery speed.
- He’ll draw plenty of flags early on with his playing style. Shaw is hesitant when facing the action in zone coverage.
