Case in point the Redskins were getting big gains running his side because he didn't support the run and most times the receiver had him blocked.

On Talking Cowboys Broaddus also brought up this point,
this.

i was disappointed with his lack of physicality all season.

i called it at the beginning of the season and everyone berated me and told me i was crazy .
1 season in and the truth comes out . hes a good man/zone player , not a shutdown corner and terrible tackler and soft getting off blocks .

Considering Dallas traded up - I think he gets C+ because he did start but did not see any of the explosiveness that I saw from him in college. Sometimes rookie CB need that second year to flourish. He certainly isn't a bust and could be steady for long time. I am just don't see him clicking with Rob Ryan and he is more timid than I anticipated.

I wasn't overly impressed. I see a guy who doesn't like contact (think Jenkins) and who didn't make any game-changing plays that I can recall. Now he was just a rookie, so you have to temper the criticism, but I saw nothing to make me think he's going to be an impact player down the road.

IIRC he was a WR in high school. His strength was playing the ball and having ball skills which leads to turnovers. He hasn't shown it, but getting the turnovers was supposed to be a big part of his game. If he doesn't have these skills, it was stupid to trade up for him.

Very unimpressed. Was supposed to the best defensive guy in the draft and only got one INT. He made a few plays here and there tipping balls, but not enough to justify the pick we invested.

Have hope for the future, because he definitely wasn't bad, but we went after him specifically to make plays. Need to see that next year.
