POSITIVES: Nice-sized corner with solid athletic skills. Can peddle, turn and stays with opponents off the line of scrimmage. Follows receivers out of their breaks, displays a good break on the pass and solid ball skills.

NEGATIVES: Slow reacting on occasion or falls asleep. Supports the run but not always willing to fly around the ball and does more grabbing than wrap up tackling.
