His hands are active in man coverage, and he has the speed to keep up with the league's elite players. During routes, he shows hip dexterity and top-level trigger on short routes. The placement of his hands allows him to ready the body for the competition, and this has resulted in some excellent examples of his man-to-man ability. In zone, he reads route combinations extremely well and switches onto receivers without hesitation or second thought. In the run game, he closes off the outside, even if it means taking on bigger players; his tackling is safe and fundamental. He can be pushed around and out-muscled when coming down to affect the run.
