As a sophomore he showed some of the best ball skills I've seen in a decade, but last year was not so good. He played primarily off coverage in 2012, to very poor effect, and all that shuffle-stepping seemed to wreck his regular backpedal technique as well. Too many times he looked tight-hipped and off balance.
So this season is huge for him. He's better near the line of scrimmage, but I still want to see his discipline improve when he's playing off. He may end up being a safety prospect for certain teams, which I think is fine, since his tracking ability is special and he's a good tackler already.
