Strengths

• Trusts his eyes with very good awareness. Has very good reaction skills to break quickly on the ball.
• Savvy cover skills to recognize and anticipate routes. Understands what's coming and has good ball skills.
• Good instincts and anticipation reads and reacts with discipline. Dangerous with the ball in his hands.
• 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.
• Alert defender for zone coverage, showing good understanding of route progressions occurring behind him and a quick burst downhill to break on underneath passes in front of him.

Weaknesses

• Will slip off tackles and needs to finish more consistently.
• Undisciplined, with inconsistent tackling technique, and does a poor job finishing in space. Suspect ball skills and can be eliminated from the play by a single blocker.
• Lacks elite speed to recover if beaten on double move. Ducks his head and swipes too often on open-field tackles.
• Lacks the recovery speed to catch receivers if he waits for them to arrive.
• 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.
