I largely agree with your take; I think we wrote more or less the same thing. That being said, some of his interceptions are very athletic. He has good anticipation, closes fast, and times his jumps well. He did display a lot of athleticism in those plays. He also showed a fair degree of toughness, taking on running backs and blockers that were substantially larger. But agree on pursuit angles and tackling (again, possibly that's due to him going for the strip instead of the tackle).
