Scouting Report
Very, very physical for his size and for a cornerback. Constantly looking to make the big hit in the open field. Possesses near-elite foot speed and can stay with most wideouts on deep downfield routes. A physical disruptor who is also very heads-up, snatching receptions. Undersized for an NFL cornerback and sometimes goes for the big hit when he should be wrapping up tackling. Must show he can continue playing his physical style as a pro, up against jumbo receivers. Already has a significant injury history and his size and physicality make it more worrisome.
Long Range Potential: Fast, athletic (but undersized) cover corner.
