When he does everything right before the ball is in the air, it's hard to complete passes against him. He's superb at using his body to block out receivers and times his break ups well. He can play tight mirror or zone, is built solidly, and doesn't back down against the run (minus the overzealous shoulder tackling at times).

When he makes one false step though, his coverage gets dicey. Does he have recovery speed? Long speed? That great timing goes away when he's chasing numbers downfield. I'm interested, but he has less margin for error as a sub-six-footer and possibly 4.5+ guy.
