Athletic frame with ability to add bulk and shows good short-area burst and recovery speed. He anticipates the timing of the ball very well and plays with good swagger and physicality. Minter relishes devouring game film to study opponents. His long frame and arms allow him to keep receivers with in his grasp. He can mentally wear down opponents using physiological phase of the game. Great knack for getting behind the line of scrimmage and making plays in the run support.
