[QUOTE="XPack, post: 906670, member: 10209"] Profile: Overview Depending upon scheme, need or preference, Stokes offers teams the potential to play him outside or from the slot. Speed and quickness should allow him to stay with route runners or within close-out distance when he gets behind. Stokes played with better press technique in 2020 and he's willing to get physical near the goal line, but his play strength is below average. While there have been mild flashes of playmaking potential, he's more likely to play the receiver rather than attacking the football and looking for takeaways. He's twitchy in tight quarters with the potential to become more disruptive in zone. [B]His size, speed and athleticism could make him a Day 2 pick as a future CB3, but his weakness as a run defender will be challenged quickly by NFL offenses.[/B] Strengths Combination of speed/quickness to play inside or outside. Occasional flashes of playmaking instincts. Had two interception returns for touchdowns in 2020. Poised through press release. Stands his ground against physical targets. Fights back against push-offs at the top of the route. Celebrated high school sprint champ. Can run with mismatch-caliber speedsters on crossing routes. Hyper-twitchy with downhill drive to his target. Plays into receiver when phasing downfield. Potential for gunner duties on punt team. Weaknesses Slim lower body with lack of play strength. Thinks "hands" before "feet" when matching release and breaks. Doesn't fully trust what he sees yet. Mostly "right place, right time" interceptions. Takes extra steps on lateral transition from shuffle/pedal. Tardy gaining playmaking positioning in coverage. Below-average poise and balance downfield. Opponents run through solo tackle tries. Likely to be isolated and targeted by run games. [/QUOTE]
