he's the kind of corner I have a soft spot for. competitive as hell, tackles like someone 20 pounds heavier, and can be really smothering when he's on top of his game. will walk up to the line and throws his hands up against anybody, but smooth enough to turn and run with them around the field.

his NFL limitations come down to his physical traits. his arms aren't long enough to contest a lot of passes -- Texas Tech threw like five straight back-shoulder fades against him, despite good positioning -- and he gets jostled around downfield. he wins his battles by ripping through receivers' hands, but is going to lose more of them by simply being boxed out.

fortunately he's a fantastic returner, punts and kickoffs, so that's good value there. special teams ace and rotating nickel corner who will give you all he's got.
