is speed! Cy has super quick feet, really showing them off when coming out of his breaks. Downfield, he shows fluid hips being able to adjust at full speed while running with WRs. He shows confidence playing press man, zone, and off-man. In off-man, he does a great job surfing and being patient, calmly ping-ponging his eyes from the QB and WR. I love the patience his plays with, really waiting for the WR the show their hand and has the feet to break to the break point. Cy consistently plays the ball in the air and attempts to punch through the WRs hands also with consistency. The JR does a great job with his catch technique especially against bigger WRs, in which he stays underneath their chin throughout the route where his quicker feet shine usually resulting in clamps. When he does end up in trail, he does a great job at beating WRs to the spot and contesting at the catch point. Cy is also a big threat on ST coverages, as a tremendous gunner and a #9 on KO as the trim the fat player.

White brings a technician’s mindset to the cornerback position. With elite footwork and lightning quick change of direction, he thrives in both press and off man coverage. This offseason, White stood out at multiple team camps where he showcased his ability to mirror receivers and break on the ball. He has a natural feel for timing and positioning, often disrupting passes at the catch point. What sets White apart is the chip on his shoulder, he plays with intensity and purpose. As he heads into this season, he’s poised to solidify himself as one of the top emerging lockdown corners in the class
