strengths

• He has a perfect size frame, physical, and blazing speed to match tall, quick outside receivers. 
• He shows exceptional footwork, is patient, and maintains an excellent pad level to mirror release.
• He does not get beat down the field on deep passes; he has high-quality recovery skills. 
• He will stick to his task with excellent eye discipline in zone coverages to scan the field. 
• He defends in off-coverages by coming off his assignment and assisting with crossing routes middle field attacks.
• He uses his physicality in press coverages jamming receivers at the line.
• His size can be intimidating, built like an NFL safety.
• He uses his world-class speed to chase down players down the field or backside pursuit with intentions to strip balls away.

weakness

• It is shocking with a track background how he demonstrates struggles coming out of breaks with stiffness in his hips. 
• He struggles to change direction by running too fast and cannot gear down, perhaps due to his length.
• He has tiny hands for a player of his size, which leads to inconsistency with his hands, which leads to drop interceptions, he should make with his length. 
• With his physique, he lacks the upper-body strength to shed blocks or disengage from blockers.
• He was flagged a lot, was too grabby, and did not get his head around to see the ball-leading penalties.

Draft Projection: 2nd - 3rd Round
