Summary
Strengths
Good size for a CB with muscle and a wider frame to add more mass
No fear of getting physical in coverage to disrupt routes and the catch point
Smooth back pedal and has enough lateral agility to react+match
Smart, tough and balanced against the run
Weaknesses
Timing of jam is hit or miss and when he misses, WRs can get over the top of him (KC Concepcion of Texas A&M)
Very raw in awareness and feel for route development in man coverage
Rarely turns around on throws down the field
Final Report
Cisse is a well-built, physical outside corner that is very raw in coverage. He's smooth in his back pedal and has adequate speed, but his awareness and feel for routes developing is a work-in-progress. On vertical targets, he rarely turns to the ball and opts to fight through the hands. His physicality and positioning allows him to be competitive this way, but it severely limits his ball production. Against the run, Cisse is smart, fearless and comes to balance as a tackler. Overall, he has a lot of the traits needed in a starting outside corner at the NFL level. He'll be just 20 years old on draft night, leaving some optimism he can grow into a more impactful man cover corner as a day two pick in this class.
