Scouting Report
Possesses elite agility and fluidity for an NFL d-back, and is very fast even for an NFL defensive back; a true burner downfield. Also has elite leaping ability for winning jump balls (and is a factor in the interception game who can kill offensive drives). Can do more to regularly bust up passes downfield, and can be more productive as a sideline-to-sideline tackler. Lacks the physical strength needed to really body opponents during their routes.
Long Range Potential: Top-tier cover corner with great athleticism.
