"Zone style corner with plus athletic ability and quickness that could likely play some safety."
Strengths:
Quick to read and react with solid all around athleticism. Solid click and close corner with great quickness that gets his paws on the ball.
Reliable, physical tackler. Aggressive in run support. Decent recovery speed. Has some scheme versatility and could play some safety. Mature team leader.
Weaknesses:
Can't hang with real speed. Better playing off than up in man. Bites up and is susceptible to double moves. Inconsistent in press and can lose right out the gate vs explosiveness. Gets his hands on balls but doesn't regularly pull them in.
Overall:
Love is a solid zone style corner with plus athletic ability and sound tackling skill. He stays around the ball and is adept at collecting pbu's, owning the ND record for pass break-ups in 3 seasons.
He's reliable and aware facing the action and could be looked at as a safety by some teams. He's not quite as adept in man and can struggle to mirror and hang with explosiveness at the start and top of the route. And doesn't have a great jam to compensate.
