02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Indianapolis Colts, in their defensive system, primarily utilized a hybrid 3-4 scheme, often featuring quarters or Cover-3 principles with an emphasis on versatile defensive backs.

Boundary CBDeep SafetyNickel CB
Best role

Year 1: Special teams ace and developmental boundary corner. Ceiling: Starting outside corner, capable of covering larger receivers and providing deep support.

Wrong fit

Man-heavy schemes that demand elite short-area quickness and change of direction from Week 1.

A raw, toolsy prospect with elite speed and size for the position, best suited for a system that can develop his technique while utilizing his athletic gifts.

04The evaluation

Selected #57 overall in Round 2 of the 2016 NFL Draft by Indianapolis Colts out of Clemson.
