Overview
Radley is a press-man corner who mirrors receivers and stays attached through the route, with the ball skills to finish at the catch point. He erased a side of the field in college and profiles as a scheme-diverse starter.
He'll get grabby when beaten and can be a hair tardy driving on throws in zone, but the man-coverage foundation and competitiveness are exactly what teams want on the boundary.
