| Scouting Report | Potential |
| Most people feel that he will be a pretty good blitzing corner in the future. He'll get some interceptions over time but probably not an unusually high amount. With continued dedication, he should be able to raise his tackling skills to a competitive level. If he keeps working hard, he should end up being solid in zone coverage. |
