Scouting Report
Brings elite foot-speed and elite anticipation, and uses those two gifts to constantly make plays on the ball. Super-productive and instinctive in the secondary, busting up passes and generally preventing receivers from making catches. Also a ball-hawk with superb hands and game-breaking interception ability. Has untapped return tools. More opportunistic than he is a pure shutdown guy; not very physical or bruising, and isn't one to pile up tackles or regularly disrupt opponents early in routes with a strong jam. Also not much of a run supporter or blitz option. Gets penalty-prone at times when not able to make plays on the ball.
Long Range Potential: Ball-hawking, pass-defending cornerback with starter talent.
