About James
Expert Analysis
Kelly Christian | Prep Redzone Scout
Byrde-Whiten proved that he can play on an island as he took the majority of his reps at corner during the tournament. The lengthy DB has a smooth back pedal that allows him to weave and match a wide receiver’s stem. This leads to a smooth transition when flipping his hips as the receiver begins to push vertically. Byrde-Whiten is often in phase and naturally squeezes receivers’ routes, either forcing them to the sideline or forcing the receiver to make difficult catches away from their body on inward-breaking routes.
