Scouting Report
Made life difficult for receivers. An instinctive ball hawk, he was constantly around the ball. Did a good job defending passes and busting them up, and also showed a knack for picking his spots and jumping routes for interceptions. Fluid and quick, he was able to play in pure coverage situations. Excelled mostly on effort, smarts, physicality and guile. Lacked ideal physical tools for the pro cornerback position (including speed, length and explosiveness). Was prone to taking penalties when trying to stay with more athletic receivers.
Long Range Potential: Physical cornerback.
