Positives — Has good length and size for the position, a taller corner… Has good straight line speed and moves well for his size, can turn and run and despite his height can do it with a relatively low pad level… Can get out of his back pedal and into chase mode quickly… His ability to find the football in the
air is a plus, does well in both zone and man coverage… Uses his length well when closing on the football, generally only offers a small window, doesn’t give up the big play when the ball is in the air… His is aggressive and will go for the big play, but also plays smart, picks his spots wisely… Had a breakout senior season, his 21 passes defended tied for first in the nation; also recorded five picks, earned honorable mention All-American honors from Sports Illustrated… Durable, hasn’t missed a game in four seasons.
Negatives — Needs to show he can be physical when needed, he doesn’t bring that part of his game on a consistent basis… Lateral movement gives him trouble in coverage and is exposed easily… Opens the gate too often, lets the receiver get to the second level with ease… Press coverage ability needs to improve, plays the technique too flat-footed which gets him in bad position… Plays very little with his hands in press coverage, makes it too easy for the offensive player… His poor footwork allows him to be knocked off balance in coverage and has trouble regaining his initial speed when this happens… When he gets too high he loses his natural bend and plays stiff, loses his burst to make the quick plays… NFL quarterbacks will make him pay for all the space he gives wide receivers to work with, was a box score player in the WAC due to poor quarterback play.
