Player Comparison

Prototypical height, frame, and length for an outside CB – exactly how you’d make a CB in Madden. Complete CB with the size, strength, and length to neutralize big WRs on the outside and the athleticism and agility to match up well with smaller WRs on underneath routes. Can line up outside or over the slot – rare combination of skills. Great leaping ability and can sky and win at the catch point. Very fluid and smooth – rarely loses a step at the break point. Fantastic ball skills and plays the ball in the air like a WR - recorded two pick sixes in 2024 (Fresno State & USC). Very physical and strong in coverage with the ability to cover physical TEs and not be overwhelmed. Physical and secure tackler – breaks down exceedingly well in the open field. Provides a strong perimeter defender in the run game. Has been Michigan’s best CB since the moment he stepped on campus. Missed significant time in 2024, having his season ended by injury, and medical evaluations will impact his draft status. The best pure cover CB in this draft (yes, including Travis Hunter) and looks like a lock as a Top 10 pick in April.
