Productive defending passes and busting up receptions and receivers' routes in general. Has enough speed to succeed in the NFL against most receivers, and is explosive enough to win his share of jump balls. His physical strength is adequate for most d-back duties, too. Can be more productive as a sideline-to-sideline tackler. Needs to prove he has the short-space quickness to excel as a pro, and to move well enough laterally to deal with elusive receivers. Doesn't bring ideal defensive back size, and needs to add muscle mass.

Long Range Potential: Talented cover cornerback with starter upside.
