He has the size (6'1) and especially the wingspan the league is after, but his lack of fluidness combined with imperfect technique is problematic. When he can crowd a receiver at the line, hard jab and force them into the leverage he wants, he has some fantastic reps. But it's all or nothing with him: a free (or just good) release exposes him, a receiver with violent hands exposes him, and proper route-running exposes him. Yeah, that's a lot of stuff.

Still, his frame gives him a chance if he can tune up his technique. Not much he can do about the stiffness, but as part of an outside corner rotation he could contribute in short spells.

+ Really long arms and can contest throws even without perfect position
+ Has good ability to press and redirect routes

- Handsy, and will resort to grabbing if he loses a step or during scramble drill situations
- Doesn't always bring his feet with him after a jam, and gets caught napping
- Not much burst out of his breaks or when he opens his hips
- Over-leverages and too frequently whipped on stutter moves or inside-out releases
