He plays the ball well in the air every time I have seen him play. I could see someone saying his ball skills are suspect because of his lack of interceptions. He seems to locate the ball well when I see him and he obviously knows what to do with it based in his return ability.

He just doesn't seem physical enough to consistently play bump and run. He also doesn't have the make up speed to recover if the WR gets a good release off the line. His tackling could be better. He is still a great CB though despite his short comings.

If he gets with the right team and they implement the the right scheme he can have some success.

He doesn't play a whole lot of bump and run, but when he does it's just fine. He doesn't get a good jam but he stays right on the hip of the receiver most of the time.

Patently false. Also, he rarely, if ever, lets WRs get more than a step on him. Again, his strongest attribute is his ability to stay on the hip of WRs. He's done it with everyone he's covered, including Amari Cooper who's one of the best route runners I've ever seen as a college WR.

Correct

Agree on both.
