Scouting Report

Assets
  • Excellent man defender. Can still turn, cut, and run with most receivers. Allows few plays in front of him but stays in the hip pocket on deep passes. Smart and experienced.
Flaws
  • Aging. Elite wideouts can beat him. Has lost some reaction quickness. Isn't as natural or instinctive in zone coverage.
Career Potential
  • Fading, effective starter.
