Scouting Report
Very physical and tough in coverage. A converted wideout with a very nice mixture of speed and size. A very good athlete who keeps progressing. Has strong tools in man-to-man assignments, yet also does a great job adjusting in space to make the interception. A leader on and off the field. Needs to keep adding bulk to his frame to keep playing the physical, feisty style he does over the long haul. Can still use work diagnosing running plays and could make even more tackles than he does.
Long Range Potential: Elite cornerback.
