An exceptional athlete who is productive on both sides of the ball. A feisty DB that can get physical at the line of scrimmage, a smooth back peddler with transition out and mirror his man in coverage. Has good range when the ball is in the air to make a play. Expect Esplin to put up similar numbers if not more in his senior year when he made 25 tackles, 7 PBU, and 2 int last year.
