- Does a very good job of reading the eyes of the quarterback and reacting with good field awareness and ball skills.
- Possesses a versatile skill set to play in various zone and man coverage - good size match up against bigger targets.
- In the run game, he’s aggressive coming downhill and a sure tackler.
- Good vision and anticipation for zone coverage. Good hand-eye coordination and leaping skills.
