STRENGTHS
Kaiir is tall and long with that quick twitch athletic talent to be an excellent cover corner for the team that selects him. He also has very good track speed and make-up speed that allows him to trail an opponent and still make a play on the ball with his long reach. He shows on film good hands to make the interception. He has good football intelligence in zone coverages and does a good job communicating with his teammates. Kaiir likes the challenge of playing in single coverage and covering the top receiver on the opponent’s team. His impact at the next level will be in single coverages more so than in zone coverages.
CONCERNS
Kaiir does struggle with his lateral agility and at times will stumble but because of his quickness and speed to recover and long length, he recovers quickly. Because of this lack of lateral agility, he struggles to take the correct angle in open space when tackling and this is a problem when he plays in zone coverages. Kaiir is not a “form tackling type” of defensive back, and suggesting that will change at the next level is not likely. This lack of form tackling will limit his ability to play in any style of defense until he improves. Kaiir also is a penalty machine waiting to happen and panics and becomes overly physical when he feels he is going to get beat in the middle of a route or off the line of scrimmage.
BOTTOM LINE: 3.72
Kaiir has excellent overall talent but I question if he will accept the coaching needed for him to improve on that talent. His ability to panic when in single coverage is strong and his lack of passion to tackle in open space is troubling also. That being said, if in interviews a team feels that he will improve then by all means, select him early because his physical talent and size suggest that he can be an impact cover corner if he works hard enough and develops the passion to tackle in open space with some consistency. I think after 4 years you should defiantly be able to find that out.
