| Scouting Report | Potential |
| Still learning but, in time, he'll be an excellent blitzing corner. With a little more experience, he'll be able to cover almost any receiver in the country one on one. As he gets more accustomed to the routes being run at this level, he will settle in and make his share of picks. He will be one of the best zone corners you will ever see before he's through. |
