| Strengths | Tremendous ball skills and closing speed. Natural playmaker who has earned the nickname “Prime”. Very quick feet. Very fluid athlete. Consistently makes the correct route reads and anticipates routes well. Does an outstanding job staying hip-on-hip with receivers. Good fundamental tackler. Likes to hit and try and strip the ball. Very rarely fooled by play action or double moves. Has positive experience playing on an island. Good jumper with great timing. Gets off blockers well and really fights in traffic to get himself free. Has the requisite abundance of confidence and short memory that all top-notch corners possess. Played some slot WR and has some return ability. Really stood out in drills at the Senior Bowl as the best CB there by a wide margin.

| Weaknesses | Short. Not real physically strong and has maxed out his frame. Bigger receivers can take his best lick and not go down. Not a blitzer. Can be overpowered by physically strong receivers. Will exit his backpedal flat-footed at times. Had some issues making decisions when multiple receivers flooded his area.
