Nice-sized DB with solid instincts. Quick to read and diagnose, immediately picks up coverage assignments, and flashes ball skills. Quick flipping his hips in transition, gets his head back around to locate the ball in the air, and has a nice move to the throw. Displays range with the ability to go sideline to sideline and possesses an explosive closing burst. Occasionally lines up over the slot receiver, jams opponents at the line of scrimmage, and slows their releases.

Peaks is best facing the action. Displays good recognition, mixes it up with opponents, and competes to break up throws. Displays a good burst to the ball out of his plant. Fires upfield to defend the run, wraps up tackling, and brings opponents down in the open field.

Quick flipping his hips, stays with assignments, and knows where opponents are on the field. Works to track the ball in the air and positions himself to defend passes. Fires upfield and breaks through blocks to defend screen passes or running plays.
Explosive and physical corner with average size. Aggressive, mixes it up with receivers throughout the route, and stays on the opponent’s hip out of breaks. Shows a burst to the ball, can drive out of his plant, and has a nice move to the throw. Tracks the pass in the air and effectively times pass defenses.
Highlights
Long, densely-built cornerback with excellent overall size. Flashes good long-strider acceleration when carrying receivers upfield. Has shown he can read the QB’s eyes in zone and break early on passes. Shows glimpses of solid lateral agility when shuffling to match and square up wideouts. Proactively uses length and frame to wall off receivers and take away space. Has enough hip fluidity to undergo 90-degree transitions and enter phase after releases. Has the versatility to play on the boundary and in the slot if needed. Possesses the necessary bend to play low in his stance and quicken his feet. Length and frame density allow him to envelop ball carriers as a tackler. Has enough explosiveness to be a dangerous blitzing threat with his length.
