"For the most part, he's had an outstanding spring," Lynn said recently, according to ESPN. "We've put a lot on his plate. He's taken more reps of any (defensive back) on the team right now, and I think in the situations we've put him in he's handled very well."
Chargers defensive coordinator Gus Bradley agreed.
"We're trying to get him to see what he does well, what his skill set is like," Bradley said, via ESPN. "What I love about him, even though he might be burdened mentally, it doesn't slow his game speed down. He still plays fast."
