Overview

Torrence may never play football at the next level as he already plays baseball for the Houston Astros' organization during the summers, but he has the skill set to develop into an effective cover-2 corner. He is a converted wide receiver who has outstanding body control to make plays on the ball and flashes the ability to make big returns on interceptions. However, he is not explosive enough stick with faster wide receivers and makes too many mistakes diagnosing the play. His name may be called in the middle rounds, as he has the potential to become a solid corner in a zone heavy scheme.

Analysis

Strengths

Torrence has good size and bulk. Shows the ability to make plays on underneath routes in zone coverage. Fluid athlete that has the hands to make interceptions and the agility to make people miss in the open field. Plays with a mean streak, takes proper angles in run support and is a very capable tackler.

Weaknesses

Makes too many misreads and gets caught out of position. Lacks the explosion to quickly close gaps once the ball is in the air. Does not flash an effective press at the line of scrimmage. Plays a bit high and takes too many false steps limiting his ability to stick in man coverage. Already a professional baseball player.
