Positives: Elite feet, quickness, speed, agility and burst. Fluid hips. Very good natural man-to-man cover ability. Can shadow receivers in coverage. Shows anticipation of routes. Has quick, strong hands. Good open-field tackler. Hard hitter.

Negatives: A split-second slow reacting to the ball at times and doesn’t get his head around. Has had stretches of inconsistency.

Summary: First-round talent who is a little rough around the edges still but has all the tools you look for in a lockdown cover corner.
