Cover-3 match with complementary man principles that values athletic versatility and physicality in the secondary to challenge receivers at the line of scrimmage.
Immediate special teams contributor with the potential to develop into a versatile nickel corner or a strong safety who can cover, showing good potential to be a long-time core special teamer who can rotate into depth secondary roles.
