Scouting Report

Assets
  • Very experienced. Doesn't make dumb mistakes. Plays well as the deep corner in a Cover-3, where he can break on the ball before the pass is thrown. A sure tackler who gives a high effort against the run.
Flaws
  • Aging. Not strong in man coverage. Doesn't jam well. Not a top athlete who can match up against better receivers.
Career Potential
  • Fading starter.
