Tall cornerback with average transition quickness in coverage but first-rate ball skills. Kone’s smothering brand of man coverage could bring ball production but also penalty flags. He’s field-aware and instinctive, but slight stalls at the transition allow for catch windows to develop. Even when beaten, he has an innate feel for taking playmaking angles on the route, which give him a chance to disrupt the catch. His run support needs work, but he’s best-suited as a zone corner.
