STRENGTHS
Trevon is a slot cover corner that can play safety. He has the size to play off the line or on the line. He has an excellent burst to the ball and his high football IQ and the leadership skills to be a coach on the field, make him one of the top players in this draft. Trevon can cover any size receiver in the slot because of his size, foot quickness, instincts, and intelligence to anticipate. He knows how to “intimidate tackle” without committing penalties. He’s like a wolf on the field attacking and running down opponents, dropping them on the ground in a frenzy. Trevon is the leader of the pack of defensive backs like a wolf or Lobo. You almost can hear him howl, after he makes a tackle behind the line of scrimmage calling in the rest of the pack to enjoy the kill.
CONCERNS
I guess you might be able to beat him deep if he wasn’t so smart…but I really haven’t seen that on film to any great degree. Right now, he baits QB’s into throwing against him to make plays. At the next level, he needs to learn to re-route those receivers off the line because QB’s, are a lot more accurate and throw with better velocity, and trying to bait them will not be as good a strategy. That being said…I’m nitpicking.
BOTTOM LINE 1.39
For me personally, Trevon or Lobo as I like to call him is a top ten pick and the reason why, is because he is a slot cover corner who can play safety and not a safety, who can play in the slot. There is a big difference in that statement. Most safeties don’t have the quick change of direction skills Trevon has and if they do, then they don’t have the size to go along with that quickness. You can beat him deep if your offensive line can hold up but because of his length the quarterback has to have a perfect pass or he will knock it down or make the interception. Trevon is not a defensive player a QB should play games with unless that QB is one of the best in the league, and even that is questionable. He will be the alpha male in your defensive backfield who can roam all over your defense if you what him to. All I can say is safety or not, Lobo will be howling and intimate your play-caller by making impact plays all game long.
