He is an outstanding football player with only one weakness and that is his lack of height. He won the Jim Thorpe for the outstanding DB in college football and he is probably the toughest DB in this draft. He is extremely physical for his size and hits like a much bigger man. He loves to come up on run support and he is a guy that loves to throw his body around. He has good overall cover skills, shows good feet and quickness and has a burst to the ball and good closing quicks. He is really a smooth overall athlete, but if he does have a weakness, it's his lack of height, which shows up in some red zone situations and on the NFL level, he may struggle some on "jump balls" against bigger WRs. He also has a tendency because of his aggressiveness to bite a little bit on play action and as good as he is, he doesn't always seem to locate the ball instantly. However, this is a good football player that will bring a toughness to a secondary and special teams and that will be very well received by the NFL team that drafts him.
