Benjamin Morrison possesses very good size and overall length to hold his own as a boundary corner in the NFL. He is a smooth and fluid mover who has good overall speed but is not an overly sudden athlete. He primarily aligned outside for the Fighting Irish and was often tasked with shadowing the opposing team’s No. 1 option — a challenge he never backed down from. Morrison is an excellent zone-coverage defender, displaying outstanding instincts, awareness, and ball skills. He is smooth and fluid in his backpedal, and he is rarely panicked. In man coverage, Morrison excels at being patient off the line and playing bump and run. He can stay in phase and connected throughout the route. He has good route recognition so he can feel when the break point might come and get a jump on the route. He is a bit leggy in transitions and speedy receivers can separate from him both underneath and at the break point on in-routes and comebacks. Morrison is at his best playing and defending the third level of the field where his linear speed and ball skills can shine.
