He's just not as freakishly athletic as you need to play CB in today's NFL at his size these days, and he doesn't have the length to make up for it. He's just gotten beaten a lot this year in Pac-12 play but has like a preternatural feel for making huge plays to make up for it too. Good call with the move to safety, I hate making school to school comparison but I can see a bit of Jarius Byrd in his game there too, a guy who wasn't athletic enough to play outside without keeping his hands off people and wasn't a huge safety but had enough instincts and cover skills to thrive over the top.
