Scouting Report
Elite as an interception threat. Features good height for the NFL secondary. Well-built in terms of muscular bulk. Big hands help him in most of his d-back duties. Despite a well-sized frame he's not as physical and he should be yet, and can especially do more to bust up passes consistently.
Long Range Potential: Talented defensive back with some starter tools.
