he fits the Seattle cover three mold -- tall, long boundary corner who can press-bail -- but does some scary things with his technique. scary as in bad.

his method of press coverage is to wait for the route break then arm bar his man, which goes from legal to illegal when you make it to the NFL. he also opens out of his backpedal too early, getting unbalanced and losing ground. most importantly, he can't run with the faster guys, so if he doesn't disrupt the route early he's getting cooked deep.

he has good awareness and can jump your tendencies, plus his aforementioned wingspan helps him even when he's a step behind. picked off a lot of throws in 2016 and none in 2017; his true ball skills are somewhere in-between.

has some talent but the way he plays needs fundamental changes to me. be careful.
