He is an excellent man-on-man CB and is a wrap up, head up, squeeze and drive tackler. He has good strength and plays bigger than his size. He has excellent CB skills and the only way a WR gets behind him is if he knocks Chris out cold on the field.
Most say he plays bigger than his size, and he's one of the faster players in this draft. Compared to Darrell Green, which is a rarity. They say he needs to work on his technique, but considering he's only played 5 years of football, one can understand. He's a late bloomer that his speed might get him drafted early, but for the most part he's getting overlooked. A good pickup for the Falcons that I think can play the slot for a year or two and possibly be a starter by 2007.
