Strengths

• Flashes some physicality as a hitter.
• Thickly built for a corner and closes with intent; chases laterally and is effective bringing down bigger targets.
• A tough, fearless athlete who plays with a physical and aggressive mentality on the football field.
• Is a bit of a cornerback-safety teener with only average size, speed, and length, but gets the most out of his ability and works hard to improve his game.
• Strong hands to make plays on the ball, effective blitzer who shows well-coached technique and awareness.

Weaknesses

• He is very disruptive at all levels of the field, and his versatile experience will be enticing, but a lot of teams will see more tweener traits than versatile ability.
• Needs to improve his footwork and balance in coverage. Transitions out of his backpedal too early and doesn't look natural moving in reverse.
• Lacks the timed speed to mirror and maintain contact downfield. Loses the ball on slow-developing plays and has a tendency to reach and grab when he gets antsy.
• 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.
• Not consistent with his footwork, is a bit choppy in transition and is slow to find the ball on deep routes.
