So... I knew this guy was a 30 visitor, but I didn't bother to watch him because he wasn't even an option to draft on TDN's Mock Draft Machine. I don't think they even knew he existed and there's a good reason why. He didn't start the 1st four games of the season & wouldn't you know it, two of the three available games to watch him in were games he didn't start. That being said, I think this guy is a gem of a prospect. I'm convinced he's awful in the games I didn't get to see and that's why I like him so much more than where he was drafted.
The best thing I saw him do was repeatedly take away in-breaking routes. I also saw him doing a good job of working through the receiver to deflect the pass. Favorite play of his was against Boise State; diagnosed a backwards pass & hauled *** to interception the throw. He would have returned it for a pick six after a great effort, but one of his teammates held on the return.
Almost exclusively played outside corner. Doesn't always look like he's playing fast, notably didn't think he bursted upfield, but I saw him carry a couple of verticals against UCLA & saw him closing from behind in pursuit against Fresno State.
Worst and most concerning play I saw was him biting against play action & vacating his zone for a long TD pass. Called for PI one snap. Wasn't very tight against the sole out-break I saw him cover.
