perfect boundary corner. he has the long, pliable frame to play press or zone equally well, and closes on throws with a burst. best part about his game are his elite ball skills -- he led the country in interceptions (8) this past season, and none of them were flukes. he goes up for deep balls like a receiver, and gets incredible jumps while baiting in zone. an absolute fade-killer at the goal-line; he defends the end-zone better than any defensive back in this draft.
he does give up a step on pure speed routes, but it's hard to throw over his wingspan. also never put him in the slot; he's terrible inside. average tackler (Saquon Barkley put him on a poster when he hurdled him this season) but sets the edge as needed.
overall though, he has number one corner potential if you let him play his game.
