Strengths

• Has at least adequate straight-line speed and good balance, fluidity to change direction.
• Savvy cover skills to recognize and anticipate routes. Understands what's coming and has good ball skills.
• 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.
• 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.

Weaknesses

• Struggles to break down in space and can be a liability against the run at the second level.
• Lacks instincts with shaky awareness, is overaggressive and too often bites on fakes and misdirection.
• 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 tense ankles and hips with choppy footwork when attempting to redirect and doesn't always look natural changing directions.
• Needs to tighten his angles in pursuit. Needs to show better tackling technique to consistently finish.
