Utilizes a Cover-3 match scheme that prioritizes long, rangy cornerbacks capable of playing both zone and man coverage.
Initially a valuable special teams contributor and rotational boundary corner, with the potential to develop into a starting outside cornerback.
A purely press-man heavy scheme that leaves corners isolated without significant safety help.
His athleticism and versatility make him a good fit for a defense that values adaptable defensive backs who can contribute in multiple phases.
Selected #80 overall in Round 3 of the 2011 NFL Draft by San Francisco 49ers out of South Carolina.
