STRENGTHS

—Tough, physical cornerback who was a two-time high school state wrestling champion.

—Physique is exactly what NFL teams want: strong arms and legs, plus the speed and quickness to keep pace with top-tier pro receivers.

—Feet are natural, and Ya-Sin shows change-of-direction skills to close on the route once he identifies the ball. Closing speed is very good.

—Upside is loved by scouts, who see Ya-Sin as being able to further develop after limited time at a major college program.

—Top-tier tackler who comes downhill in a hurry and hits the receiver with a mean streak.

—Able to play in any scheme and has seen his stock soar as teams realize his potential to play in press-man or zone schemes with room to improve his technique.

WEAKNESSES

—Just one year of starting at Temple after beginning his career at Presbyterian College.

—Technique is very raw, and too often he wins by trying to play physically at the route stem instead of relying on timing and coverage tools.

—Can get caught not trusting his eyes and instincts, which creates a pause in his reaction.

—Not a wrap-up tackler despite good strength, toughness and a wrestling background.

OVERALL

It is rare for coaches to speak so highly of a player they had for just one year, but that's the case at Temple. Ya-Sin was loved by the Owls staff for his hard work, willingness to improve and toughness. He has some technique to iron out but can be a plug-and-play starter on the outside.
