Scouting Report
Super-fast and super-aggressive busting up passing plays. Reacts to the pass quickly, lines up opponents, then uses his elite foot speed and excellent leaping ability to contest the reception and make life hard on receivers. Long and athletic, and is a gutsy player with a professional attitude. Not an efficient tackler or a consistent pickoff threat. Gets off his feet too quickly and too often, and sometimes gets hung out to dry and misses tackles. Could be much more patient and use better anticipation overall. Has a thin build and a history of durability issues.
Long Range Potential: Aggressive, athletic, opportunistic cornerback.
