No but heard good things from people who have with universal he should be good.

I put Chad at Outside CB when he first came out. I have very mixed feelings about it. Sometimes he lit up and made big plays, other times he got completely burnt with zero hopes of catching up. I think the biggest issue is his Press rating being on the lower side for a CB. I know there are thresholds but I believe the Press rating goes directly against the Release rating of the receiver. If you don’t press your corners then he might be fine, he seemed like he got turned around a lot trying to cover routes as well which you wouldn’t expect with his high AGI/COD.

This was my take as well
