POSITIVES

—Is an aggressive downhill player who shows enthusiasm for making hits at or behind the line of scrimmage.

—Has NFL-caliber instincts that flash in intermediate coverage. He also has a willingness to jump routes and create turnovers.

—Played off the edge at Texas at times and showed sure tackling, both in traffic and in the open field.

—Often redirects other players on defense and shows the mental processing skills to diagnose offensive formations moment to moment and counter with new defensive alignments.

—Was impressive in getting to the ball, as he nabbed six interceptions and had three forced fumbles in 2017.
