Joshua brings a confident presence in the secondary, showing the ability to anticipate movement and position himself where the play is headed rather than where it started. He stays composed under pressure and does a good job using angles to limit yards after the catch. His change-of-direction ability helps him adjust to double moves and improvised routes, and he competes hard at the catch point. Joshua’s mix of poise, spatial awareness, and steady technique allows him to consistently hold his ground against a variety of matchups.
