Typical starting OSU corner... everything you could ever want: He's 6'0, he's about 200, he's going to run a 4.40, and he can stick with routes in every scenario. He played a ton of press man at OSU but he's actually a much better player in zone, which Spags runs alot of. So, that's a huge, huge plus.
Problems are basically that he's too grabby during routes, he needs to limit that in the pros or he's going to draw flags.
Other is I wish he were a tad more disciplined in run defense. He's not afraid or unwilling, because he can do the job well, but he doesn't always take great angles, fight through blocks, or break down well to make the tackle. In other words, he lets some plays get by him he shouldn't in that regard.
It did appear he grew up alot in 2019. He was as good as going to the NFL draft in 2019 until Cris Carter talked to him and told him he needed to stay and grow up. What that says about his future, who knows, but I think he made some major changes in his life.
