— ————

Ø had surgery for a torn pectoral muscle during 2021 season

Ø late hands in press occasionally leads to him losing leverage & letting receivers cross his face on in-breaking routes

Ø questions about play strength, specifically pertaining to jamming WRs at the line

Ø occasionally gets caught being a little too handsy in coverage

Ø long speed to stick with or chase down NFL WRs if he gets beat off the line is a question — should be able to answer this season in the ACC
