Robert Longerbeam

Marginal height and frame lacking some desired mass. Despite lack of size, has long arms and a large reach. Feisty and competitive CB who has experience lining up outside but may best be used in the slot where his agility and fluidity matches up well with quick WRs. Good long speed. Fluid and smooth in coverage with the ability to flip his hips and stay in-phase. Very physical in coverage – may be prone to PI calls at the next level. Battles at the catch point and uses hands well to break up the catch. Good ball skills with three INTs and 21 passes defensed over the last two seasons. Willing in run support but lack of strength gets him washed out of too many run plays. Good form on his tackle but can fall off some attempts due to a lack of core strength.
