Scouting Report
He set an NFL Combine record for the fastest time by a defensive player in the 40-yard dash, but he cannot completely rely on his speed. Is a better athlete than cover man, so he has a lot to learn in terms of technique. Though he has the athleticism to succeed at the highest level, the rest of his game needs work.
Long Range Potential: inconsistent but speedy cornerback.
