The seventh-round corner had a rookie year to forget in 2016 as he ended his first year in the league ranked dead last among cornerbacks with a PFF overall grade of just 31.8. Throughout the year, he was the league’s most frequently targeted cornerback, with opposing signal-callers opting to throw into his coverage once every 4.5 coverage snaps. All told, he allowed 58 of the 91 passes into his coverage to be caught while giving up a monstrous 848 receiving yards, the second-most among all cornerbacks.
