AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT
 Pass Coverage Skills
A fierce MLB, Minter is the type of player defenses are built around. Has the size to take on and shed larger OL, and has natural leverage due to height. Exceptional upper-body strength and light feet serve him well in the box and allow for excellent lateral range. An outstanding inside-out player, Minter is very good against the run and is a solid three-gap player. Has the speed to cover FBs and can hold his own versus RBs--Burke Hayes

"I still want to work on my pass drops and on getting a bit faster. I'd like to be able to read and react to the pass faster too."
