Here's his build

Right now I have 12 tackles, 10 missed tackles (due to being on power tackling without knowing it for 5 games), 5 INTs, and 16 PDs. What should I start putting points into now?

Return Spec is worthless, I'd recommend not investing in that from now on. Looks like a decent build, but try to get that Jumping way up there as well as the confidence and Stamina.

Nice on the ints, btw. I can never seem to make a stat hoarding CB.

My level 29 right now has 3 sacks and 1 int with 16 PDs and his stats are:

Strength: 21.04
Blocking: 10
Speed: 70.61
Tackling: 22.78
Agility: 69.61
Throwing: 8
Jumping: 42.11
Catching: 21.19
Stamina: 35.42
Carrying: 16.52
Vision: 52.04
Kicking: 10
Confidence: 24.41
Punting: 8

Well I was trying to make him a KR/PR before I came to my current team and they have a guy that's got that spot locked down. I've been training my jumping as well as my strength and tackling. I'd rather not invest my SPs in them because I feel those can be used to better other attributes.

I've kept off on stamina but seeing as I'm getting about 50-60 plays a game I guess I should start getting it up. I really don't see much value in confidence because if I don't get burned then I won't need it.

You've definitely got a solid foundation there, but both Jumping and Shutdown Coverage are lacking for your that level; also your tackling is a bit on the low side IMO (Rule of thumb: try and keep it around your level, at least until lvl 35 or so). I'd reccomend getting Shutdown to lvl 4 base; you should see a big increase in your coverage performance. While you're doing that, train Jumping/Tackling (called something like Diving Tackle Drills IIRC), then start investing SP in Jumping. Your Speed and Agility are pretty decent (I wouldn't advise spending SP there past the 3:1 cap), so once Jumping is up you could probably go crazy on SAs & Vision for a bit.

Oh, and if your team CB blitzes at all, then you might as well drop 2 points into Blitz. Should be a nice & cheap bonus there.
