| PRO | CON |
|---|---|
| His competitiveness and aggressive play style pops off the film. Tough to get past in press coverage. Always attacking the football when it’s headed his direction and is willing to throw himself into a play to make a tackle. | Smaller, more compact build with shorter arms. Struggles at times to get to in-breaking routes. Can be taken advantage of on deep routes and double moves. Sometimes his play style leads to penalties. |
OVERVIEW: The competitiveness and football IQ of Abney flies off the tape. He's consistently around the ball, posting 21 pass breakups and five interceptions in his last two years at Arizona State. The Waxahachie, Texas, native sees the game well and makes things difficult on receivers at the line of scrimmage with his press-coverage technique. Abney will need to work on drawing fewer penalties, and he doesn't have the best size and measurables for an outside corner, but he makes up for it with an aggressive style of play that can cause havoc.
COMPARISON: Taron Johnson
