The Good
– Solid size with some bulk
– Physical and aggressive player with good demeanor and mentality
– Versatile corner, experienced in different coverages and alignments
– Plasters well in man-to-man, drops his hips and changes directions to blanket dig and pivot routes
– Plus athlete who can turn and run, good speed
– Throws weight around and flashes hit power, able to separate player from ball at catch point
– Doesn’t give up on plays and fights to knock the ball out
– Sets edge against the run, aggressive downhill and impact hitter when he brings his arms and wraps up
– Played against top-flight competition
– Not fooled by trick plays and pump fakes, disciplined zone eyes
– Looks comfortable in the slot and can play all over the field
– Smart, well-coached, knows how to match routes and understand route concepts and combinations
– Productive career, ball-hawking numbers in 2023
– Young with room to grow

The Bad
– Lacks top-flight size and length
– Good but not great speed
– Struggles most against underneath routes, curls and comebacks, has trouble breaking down and transitioning to stop and get downhill
– Needs to improve coordination, too often loses balance mid-route, especially vertically
– Must clean up his feet in press coverage, will false step and doesn’t get consistently good jams/reroutes
– Won’t always bring his arms to tackle and will lead with shoulder, going for knockout blow
– Will guess on routes and can get fooled, causing him to step wrong or be late to open his hips vertically
– Doesn’t have a ton of starting experience and must refine overall technique
– Can get grabby and a little too aggressive, seven penalties last two years and can come in bunches
