What they’re saying about him:
CBSSports.com: “Makes the easy interception, at times with hands away from his frame. Always find the ball quickly enough to at least a hand on it, has nice arm length and gives great effort to rip the ball from the receiver’s hands. Short stature, however, will hurt him downfield in jump ball situations against taller, stronger players.”
