Ponds is an undersized but competitive corner with the quickness to work inside. He has to win with anticipation and toughness because NFL offenses will try to find the size mismatch.
Strengths: Quick feet, college production and a natural nickel-style competitive profile provide developmental intrigue.
Weaknesses: Size and length are clear limitations, and he needs flawless technique to survive against bigger NFL targets.
