I've never been too impressed by him. He's hit-or-miss in his primary off-coverage assignments, with the ability to drive hard on the shorter stuff but turned around often on deeper routes.
Even though he's fast, he gets bumped aside downfield -- other corners can compensate for this with ball skills, but he's terrible at locating the throw or playing through the receiver's hands. Didn't look much better the few times a game they press with him, either. Fourth or fifth corner type that'll mark the least dangerous inside receiver against spread formations. Fifth round.
+ Track fast and can run downfield with most anybody + Valuable special teams gunner who could also return (former HS running back) - Doesn't have the size or break-up ability to compete with bigger receivers - Takes too many bad steps and his press technique is bad (opens up too early) - Panicky when the ball is in the air
