Scouting Report
Useful as a kickoff returner. Does a great job on kick returns, piling up yards. A threat for return touchdowns. Does a solid job on punt returns. He isn't yet much of a factor in the pickoff game. Short for the NFL secondary. Can use a lot more muscle mass for the pro game.
Long Range Potential: Talented defensive back with some starter tools.
