Immediate special teams contributor with the upside to develop into a starting slot or outside corner by Year 2.
Man coverage schemes that ask corners to consistently mirror receivers on an island, as his fluid hips and change of direction are not elite enough for this.
A solid, versatile corner best utilized in zone-heavy defenses where his instincts and tackling ability can shine.
Selected #79 overall in Round 3 of the 2019 NFL Draft by Los Angeles Rams out of Michigan.
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.
