Strengths
- Good instincts and anticipation reads and reacts with discipline. Dangerous with the ball in his hands.
Weaknesses
- Lacks the bulk and size to hold up against linemen inside at the next level. Will leave his feet or duck his head at times, leading to missed tackles.
- Short stature will hurt him in jump-ball situations against taller, stronger NFL receivers.
- Needs work on backpedaling to prevent defenders from getting behind him.
- Has suspect instincts in coverage and needs to show better pre snap recognition.
- Will slip off tackles and needs to finish more consistently.
