Scouting Report
The cornerback struggled early in his NFL career but has grown into an effective slot corner, despite not being a true speed demon. He is a reliable tackler on the edge and is more physical than most cornerbacks. His instincts, pedigree (his father was a defensive back in the NFL) and football smarts help him recognize plays quickly. He also has a nose for the football and plays with urgency.
Long Range Potential: Versatile slot cornerback.
