STRENGTHS
Kristian is that tall, lanky, smooth as silk, style cornerback who can cover receivers like a glove. He has those long arms and long legs that help him to recover when he gets beat. He is smart and reads receivers, understanding when the ball is in the air to make a play defending and knocking it down or to make the interception. Kristian has the size to be used at other positions in the defensive backfield but his impact will be at the cornerback position. Kristian will come up and tackle players on the sweeps and screen to his side but his impact for the team that selects him will be as a cover corner in single or in zone coverages.
CONCERNS
Kristen is not a strong tackler but he gets the job done. He also struggles to get off blocks but he is smart and will turn the sweep or screen to the inside allowing his teammates to make a play. Kristian can get beat because he seems to get lackadaisical at times thinking his talent will bail him out.
BOTTOM LINE 1.86
Kristian should be an excellent cornerback at the next level once he matures and realizes that it takes more than talent to play in the NFL. I’m not suggesting that he takes downs of, not at all. It just seems that at times on the field his mind wonders and that can happen at the college level without many consequences but at the NFL level, receivers and quarterbacks will set him up and his excellent talent will not help him out against opponents who have talent equal to his. Kristian just needs a little time and pear pressure to bring out his competitive nature consistently and when that happens he should become an excellent cornerback for that team that selects him.
