| Strengths | Real speedster with good height for the position. Shows fluidity in his hips and shoulders when on the move, exits his backpedal under control and ready to burst. Has a good feel for route recognition and doesn’t bite on fakes. Good at jumping short inside routes, reads the QB very well. Very sound tackler who filled in at safety and looked like a force against the run at that position. Can make the acrobatic INT. Very good on returns, both off picks and on PR/KR duty. Really stood out during Senior Bowl workouts for his man coverage skills and closing burst. Also showed leadership ability and a willingness to be coached in Mobile.

| Weaknesses | A JUCO transfer forced out of Oregon State after a weapons charge (later dropped), he carries personal baggage. The scouts I’ve talked to unanimously tell me he’s matured and developed into a mentally stronger young man, but teams are wary of guys busted for carrying an unlicensed loaded gun. Thin-framed and light for his height, though there is some room for added functional bulk. Really needs to improve lower-body strength; his legs look like Keon Clark’s. His tumultuous school-hopping resulted in not getting much experience or consistent coaching. Not very good with his hands in fighting for position or jamming, holds too much.
