  1. Calls himself a press CB. And has return ability as well. Here is an interview he did prior to the 2016 Draft.

    One of the best questions and answers he gave was:

     

    "PS: Based on the tape, it seems like youre a fan of hitting people.

     

    TM: Oh yea. I wanna hit when I get the opportunity, because I really dont get many out there at corner, so when I get the opportunity, Ill show a little bit."

     

    I LOVE hard hitting corners!

  2. Negativity is being down on the team. e.g., "This team sucks" is negativity.

     

    Tre appears to be a perfectionist - critical of himself, always striving for self-improvement, but not negative. e.g., "What can I do to improve the team?"

    I disagree. He is negative about himself. He doesn't say "I could be better" as much as he says "I sucked." Cornerback is a position designed to get beat in today's NFL. I just hope he tempers and channels it vs letting it slip out of control. I know MANY perfectists who burn out and perform worse due to this.

  3. He takes the game of football seriously. He takes his craft seriously. He takes his team's success seriously and is intrinsically motivated. He holds himself accountable. He's also very talented. He's not your everyday rookie.

    I 100% agree with this. I just hope he doesn't burn himself out. Do we need to keep him away from sharp objects IF he truly has a horrific game? Over the years, I have seen pro players use incentives (like Thurman being drafted in the 2nd round) to motivate BUT being this openly self-critical will cause him physical problems. I felt bad for the reporters trying to tell him his positives in order to have a better interview.
