He delivered legal contact at the catch point, jamming receivers off their stems and finishing tackles in space. He was rarely pushed around, even against bigger slot targets.

He was vocal pre-snap, making adjustments for his teammates and ensuring the secondary stayed on the same page against motion and shifts.
