Scouting Report

Assets
  • Classic cornerback. Disrupts receivers and covers short zone well. Can run with most receivers when he has safety help. Willing run defender who reads plays as they develop.
Flaws
  • Old and coming off injuries. Needs safety support to be effective. Can no longer close on plays in front of him and pick off passes like he once could.
Career Potential
  • Fading starter.
