Seattle-style Cover-3 defense with a focus on long, rangy cornerbacks who can play press and carry receivers vertically.
Year 1 rotational outside corner, with high upside to develop into a starting boundary corner capable of erasing one side of the field.
Heavy zone-blitz schemes that require slot coverage or significant off-ball read-and-react ability from their outside corners.
A long, athletic corner who thrives in schemes that ask him to play press technique and utilize his speed to run with receivers downfield.
Selected #66 overall in Round 3 of the 2017 NFL Draft by San Francisco 49ers out of Colorado.
