Not really sure who he reminds me of, but I have seen some Marlon Humphrey comps and I don't hate them. Farley wins with his smooth movement abilities and ball skills, which allow him to thrive in off-man. I also think his press issues are fixable with focus and coaching.
I wish he had played this year (understand why he didn't) or I had more 2019 all-22 of his, but I'd probably slot him in the late 1st or early 2nd with ease. You rarely see a guy his size move that well and I think he can get even better with good coaching and time.
