Assistant GM Trey Brown says: "He's a guy that we targeted through the draft process. When you look at big, long, athletic corners that can absolutely fly, he checks the box. We felt good about going through the process with him, about having a guy on the outside that has high upside as a press corner, that can play man-to-man with elite receivers in this league. We feel like we got an outstanding prospect."
