Bill Belichick's flexible, multiple defense, which often utilizes man coverage principles and a variety of coverage shells.
Immediate contributor as a rotational outside corner, eventually developing into a long-term starter capable of handling top receivers in press-man.
A system that exclusively plays off-zone coverage, as his processing in space and quick-twitch burst are not elite.
Dowling's size, speed, and press-man ability make him a good fit for a defense that values versatile, physical corners.
Selected #33 overall in Round 2 of the 2011 NFL Draft by New England Patriots out of Virginia.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
