Defensive Corner specific Traits
Recognition Skills/Toughness 3 Shows tremendous instincts. Appears to understand route progressions and how receivers are trying to attack the coverage. Good effort on every play but needs to be more physical and his shoulder injuries raise concerns about upper body strength.

Closing Burst 2 Quick feet and good short-area burst. Possesses good recovery speed.

Fluidity 4 Shows some stiffness in his hips and more effective dropping into zone coverage than is matching up in man coverage.

Ball Skills 2 Can elevate over the top of receivers and get hands on football without making contact. Hands are on the smaller side but he still does a good job of snatching the ball out of the air.

Run Support 3 Willing and effective tackler but takes far too long to shed blocks and needs to develop a mean streak.
