An effortless technician and the best corner in this class. He's tremendously smooth in his movements, with no awkward transitions or wasted steps. Saban puts a ton of responsibility on him and he answered all season, whether it's staying in the slot to shut down Ryan Swope or lining up outside against Tyler Eifert with no safety help.

He's also enthusiastic about the physical demands of the position. Great blitzer from the slot or boundary, unhesitant versus the run and a dependable tackler in the open field.

As far as playing the ball, he's elite at breaking up passes -- however, he leaves too many interceptions on the field. He's a little grabby downfield, which is legal in college but will have to be cleaned up in the No Touching League. Speed is good enough and masked by technique.

Extremely valuable because he can play off-man and the slot equally well, two of the hardest tasks in the NFL, while stopping the run. An easy pick in the top 15 and may go higher than that.
