Speed and instincts define this young man.

McDonnell is so light on his feet it’s pretty impressive to see. While covering the running backs, it was rare that he lost a rep when the back decided to go vertical. Because Joel has very fast footwork and speed he can stop the open space over the top so very well.

A classic sideline to sideline defenders, he’s just scratching the surface of his potential.
