tight in the hips, making it hard for him to adjust to receivers in route, which is why he grabs. Gaining flexibility and lowering his center of gravity will help with his speed and transition.

Learning process. Grade him out at C+

He had one of the best 3-cone drills of this decade. Stiff hips probably aren't his problem. I think its grasping the mental part of the game. The game hasn't slowed down for him quite yet.

He looks like a typical promising young rookie. He has all the physical skills required, yet he still bites a bit on out moves, which is why he grabs.

I'll give him a B-, he gets 1/2 a grade point for special teams play.

Couldn't agree more. Kid looks good to me. I'd like to add that he doesn't appear to be losing confidence (having a short memory is an unappreciated skill in the CB) and that's huge. I also like the comment about the game not slowing down for him yet. It will eventually, and he'll be good.
