| Scouting Report | Potential |
| He's still working on it but eventually his ability to blitz from the corner will disrupt a lot of QB's He'll be decent at man to man coverage at some point, but there will still be quite a few better CB's out there. You will eventually see the type of agility in this kid that only the best corners possess. Coaches definitely feel he has the raw skills needed to become an asset in zone defense. |
