| Strengths | Tremendous size and strength for the position. A former WR, has very impressive ball skills. His receiving background gives him a good feel for route recognition and what the receiver is trying to do. Strong tackler, hits like a safety as expected for his size. Good closing speed. Has the requisite confidence and short memory. Employs a physical style that can really disrupt routes, great at jamming. Does a fine job blowing up screens and sniffing out misdirection plays (ask Michigan and Alabama).
|
| Weaknesses | Runs stiff. High cut despite having a good overall physique. Has adequate speed but it’s very straight-linish. Needs to work on his footwork and learn to take shorter, quicker steps; can be real slow to change direction and often grabs onto the receiver to compensate. Easier to block than he should be for a guy often having a distinct size advantage. Will bite on double moves and freezes on pump fakes.
