Draft Result

Drafted in the 2009 Draft by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 6th round with the #6 pick.
Has good size for a corner and is a player the Bengals coaching staff got to know at the senior bowl. A solid fit for a pressing scheme and could challenge for a dime job.

Strengths

Has the size%2Fspeed combination you look for in a cornerback. Good measureables. Could be a gunner on special teams. Has upside based on the physical skills.

Weaknesses

Was supposed to follow in Leon Hall's footsteps at Michigan but has not been as good as billed. Gets beat deep too frequently for a guy with his speed. Lacks coverage instincts and awareness. Not a physical tackler. Will get drafted on potential.
