Scouting Report

Assets
  • Still has a tremendous first step and burst. Has multiple moves to the quarterback. Sniffs out screens and draws. Has learned to blast his blocker into the backfield to disrupt the play.
Flaws
  • Has somewhat declining speed and sometimes gets flagged too much trying to compensate. Doesn't tackle the way he used to. Not a great point-of-attack defender.
Career Potential
  • Fading superstar.
