• Questionable instincts and awareness
• Struggles to run downfield with speedy wideouts

• Did not always face elite competition

Sideline Scouting:

Positives: Prototypical height and speed, appears to have adequate bulk… Good production in four years with the Aggies (202 tackles, 10 interceptions, forced fumble)… Plays with a lot of confidence and energy, feeds off making big plays and breaking up passes… Is a physical corner with a strong upper body, is effective in press coverage, will knock smaller receivers off their routes at the line of scrimmage… Has fairly quick hips, is quick to open up and run with receivers, even when in press coverage… Is not afraid of contact, will come up in run situations and stick his nose on the football… Is pretty effective in zone coverage, reacts to the quarterback’s eyes and shows good range in short zone coverage… Durability not an issue, has not missed any games due to injury.
