HEIGHT: 6'1"
WEIGHT: 186
POSITIVES
— Long arms and a good size frame to play at all levels. Shows well as a blitzer.
— Press defender who likes to get his hands on and ride receivers downfield.
— Shows great vision and awareness in zone coverage. Plays the quarterback's eyes while feeling threats.
— Opportunistic player who looks to capitalize on tipped or overthrown passes.
NEGATIVES
— Not a burner. He can get stretched vertically at times.
— Inconsistent footwork can lead to wasted steps out of breaks and lacks an elite burst.
— Poor eye discipline in coverage. Eyes in the backfield can pull him out of position.
