The Carolina Panthers often employ a base 4-3 defense with significant Cover 3 and Cover 4 principles, emphasizing athletic secondary play.
Immediate starter as a boundary corner, with the potential to develop into a premier lockdown corner in a man-heavy scheme.
A purely zone-based scheme with limited man coverage responsibilities, which would negate his top-tier athleticism and coverage skills.
A highly athletic and fluid corner with excellent straight-line speed, well-suited for a variety of coverage schemes but truly excels in man-to-man situations.
Selected #55 overall in Round 2 of the 2018 NFL Draft by Carolina Panthers out of LSU.
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.
