STRENGTHS
Sean has the size, length, speed that every team is looking for in a corner back. He has those long arms to be able to trail a receiver and still make a play on the ball. He has solid change of direction skills and when he uses the side lines to his advantage he does a good job in single coverage. Sean can become a good cornerback because of his size and length but as I always say…it takes more that talent or in this case…size and length to play in the NFL.
CONCERNS
Sean is on his heals at the snap of the ball and that means physical receivers will have him off balance right away, giving them a big advantage. Sean also has his hands all over the receiver pushing and grabbing and is not reading the receiver but looking into the back field on the snap once again, giving physical receivers a big advantage and those small quick receivers, even more of an advantage. He also is not likely to rush up to the line and make tackles. In fact, he never seems to be the first to the play and his tackling is questionable because of a lack of upper body strength. He tries to be physical but overcompensates for his lack of strength resulting in penalties for the next level.
TALENT BOARD ROUND 4.39
Sean really does look the part and I know coaches are going to think they can “coach him up” But I don’t believe in coaching players up if the effort and passion and aggressiveness is not there on film. He has the talent and the size but I think waiting for his first contract to see where he is at would be a smarter move than selecting him. Then again, a good coach can turn this kid into a starting corner back and that will attract some teams to select him and think they can “Coach him up”. What can I say, I guess I’m harder to impress?
