Senior Bowl invitee. Measurements - arm: 30.5" hand: 9.38" Notes: Short but rocked-up, a big little man. StrengthsPart of a very good defense and brings a lot to the table as a kick returner too. Not up with the top level of SEC corners but he's dependable enough. Shows good coverage skills and has the straight line speed to keep up with anyone.
WeaknessesThe strength of Alabama's defensive front 7 means that some teams may see him as being a little overrated. He's also a touch on the short side which will also work against him.
Projection3rd round - mainly on kick return ability. Otherwise he's a 6th round corner.
