Two-year starter who is physical and sticky in coverage. Has been known to bite on play action or loses separation by peeking into the backfield. Tools to be a nickel corner, and with skill improvement could move outside if coverage discipline improves. Some hip tightness, but is smooth and explosive in transition. Former wide receiver. A good athlete with functional corner speed. Has a good closing burst on the ball. Explosive lower body. Good leaper. Sticky in man coverage. Will need more strength in his upper body if he is asked to play press coverage. Will contribute on special teams coverage. Has experience as gunner.
