Summary

Had a solid Indy workout posting good 40 times and looked very athletic in all of his movement skills. He is a 2-year starter for the Lobos after transferring from a JC. He does a nice job anticipating the ball and shows good overall ball skills and closes well. Not a lot of wasted motion and had good feet and hips in his turns and m/m coverage. Good range and shows a little catch-up speed and burst to the ball. Seems tonticipate well and finds the ball in flight and makes plays. Not a big explosive hitter like most DBs, but will get the job done. As instinctive and aware as he is, he can disappear at times and appear to have lapses where he lets a WR get behind him. He has all the tools to be a quality contributer on the NFL level, but he needs to become a little more consistent.
