| Scouting Report | Potential |
| Most people feel that he will be a pretty good blitzing corner in the future. You will eventually see the type of agility in this kid that only the best corners possess. If he keeps working hard, he should end up being solid in zone coverage. When his instincts are fully developed, he could be able to shut down some really good receivers. |
