Moved from strong safety to cornerback for his senior year, and was all-Conference USA at both spots. Will likely switch back in the NFL unless a zone scheme team feels he is a good fit on the edge. A three-year starter for Southern Miss, he was someone his teammates could count on to get the job done.

Positives: Strong upper and lower body builds. … Plays a physical style for his size (forced nine fumbles), but is still durable. … Willing to hit receivers coming over the middle. … Strong cut tackler in run support. … Nice hands to snatch interceptions (six in 2007) with his hands away from the body. … Good closing speed to either make the tackle or break up the pass. … Team player who switched positions for his senior year to help the defense.

Negatives: Hips are not fluid enough to change directions against small receivers. … Better when he can break on the action in front of him. … Will gamble to make a play, leaving himself vulnerable to double-moves. … Has the hands to return punts and kickoffs but is not explosive in either because he lacks the elusiveness to make the first man miss.
