| Strengths | Experienced big-game CB who played very well against legit NFL competition. Good hips, which breeds his great agility. Real fluid and efficient in his movements. Has decent natural instincts. Between his good speed and technique, receivers never get behind him. Tremendous ball skills, a real playmaker with the ball in the air. Will fight receivers to the ground for the ball. Strong tackler in run support, really drives his shoulders into the hips. Excels at coming off his man to close on screens and underneath routes. Tough physically and mentally; played most of 2008 with a broken hand and went through long stretches where no balls came his way, but his effort and effectiveness never waned. Has potential for growth, both physically and developmentally. Has dynamic potential as a return man.

| Weaknesses | Lacks ideal height and isn’t a great jumper. His top-end speed is not up to par with the faster third of WRs. Drops a lot of INTs, though I cut him some slack with the broken hand. Not very good at shedding blockers, can be engulfed by WRs with good blocking technique. Many scouts would have liked him to get more experience and refinement with another year in college, to work on things like using his hands, exiting his backpedal more cleanly, and to fill out his frame.
