Scouting Report: Strengths
- He’s also very good in zone coverage, showing a great understanding of routes and the ability to close quickly.
- He’s tall-framed with long arms to match. With his powerful hands, straight-line speed, and fluidity in his hips, turning and chasing downfield shouldn’t be a problem.
- Effective out of the slot, showing the instincts and quickness to mirror when the receiver has a two-way go. Walker has good instincts and awareness when playing off, showing good route recognition and anticipation when breaking on the ball.
- Walker can flip his hips and run, with good top-end speed and the length to make plays on the ball.
- Does a good job getting his head around in time when playing with his back to the line of scrimmage. Has the ability to cover quickness underneath.
- Instincts are outstanding, and Walker does an excellent job in route recognition.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Doesn’t have much on his frame, and considering his relatively narrow shoulders, Walker might not be able to add much and keep his twitch at an elite level.
- Isn’t great in route recognition when he’s facing the action, is hesitant and susceptible to double moves, and too often gets unnecessarily handsy when playing trail position
- Too often gives too much of a cushion while playing off his man, and it becomes especially problematic since he’s not a particularly willing tackler.
