Strengths:
Exposure playing man and zone coverage. Great ball skills as a former wide receiver. Willing to play downhill and make a play in the backfield. Breaks hard on the ball. Can carry a route across the field with smooth hips.
Weaknesses:
Off-field red flags. Would like to see him improve overall strength. Can wrap up better as a tackler. Has some outside lean at the stem that can leave him vulnerable to in-breaking routes. Thin frame.
