Scouting Report
Can be utilized in a starting role but more often logs heavy snaps on special teams and rotates into the secondary. Possesses the instincts and supple frame to read and react in coverage; he is adept at mirroring routes as well as shadowing slot receivers and running backs as a nickel option. Must rely on finesse and sound technique to overcome a lack of ideal size. Is missing the takeaway gene and defaults to the conservative side. Was busted for PED usage and served a suspension for it.
Long Range Potential: Multiskilled defensive back.
