Cowboys second-round pick CB Kelvin Joseph at today’s rookie minicamp practice...

Overview Joseph has physical dimensions and natural athletic talent that are easy to get excited about, but his lack of experience might be a secondary concern to the lack of maturity that is sometimes shown on the field. He has the length and strength to re-route and bully the early stages of the release from the press and displays a sudden twitch to attack throws if asked to play an off coverage. He has the size and ball skills to create real challenges at the catch point but lacks the discipline and route recognition to stay consistently connected to routes. While he improved as the 2020 season went on, the Ole Miss game showed just how much work and experience he still needs. The traits and ability in run support could push him up the board for some teams, while others might be turned off by the penalties and undisciplined plays he put on tape. Either way, he has the talent to work with. Strengths Prototypical build as an outside corner with size and length. Full of confidence and a little bit of edge. Fires stiff punch to hinder release from press. Diligent to crowd catch space when running vertical with targets. Held up against Alabama with an INT and two incompletions on three targets. Displayed ball skills with soft, natural hands. Consistent in finding his high-point timing. Sudden burst to fly into passing lanes and play the throw. Readily accepts challenges of run support. Latch-on tackler with aggressive finish. Weaknesses Highly inexperienced with more reps needed for development. Suspended for LSU bowl game at end of 2018 season. Completely unnecessary personal fouls against Auburn and Florida. Feet are a little jittery and uncertain from press. Tall backpedal with a hitch when opening to sprint. Gives in way too quickly to route fakes. Doesn't find the football near the goal line. Fails to read receiver and phase the route. Gives away too much separation to quality route runners.
