• Good instincts and anticipation reads and reacts with discipline. Dangerous with the ball in his hands.
• Savvy cover skills to recognize and anticipate routes. Understands what's coming and has good ball skills.
• Good strength to tackle. Plays with high energy and is a tough-minded overachiever.
• A coordinated athlete with good footwork and balance. A heady cover player with above-average · feel and anticipation in space.
• Willing and successful blitzing off the edge. Consideration for a move to safety with a combination of range and sure tackling.
• Has at least adequate straight-line speed and good balance, fluidity to change direction.
• 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.

Weaknesses

• 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.
• 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.
