Already has some technical refinement to his game, despite not focusing on football year-around. Creates separation off the line of scrimmage with shake and change of direction in his releases. Shows the ability to win in contested situations, elevating to make plays on the ball. Also comfortable tracking the ball over his shoulder. Flashes his ball skills as a defensive back, where he picked off 5 passes as a junior. Adept at finding holes in the defense. Shows off his route-running capabilities in the red zone and on the goal line, breaking off corners on quick comeback routes.
