GAME FILM
#3 Damon Arnette VS INDIANA (2019)

#3 Damon Arnette highlights (2019)

Strengths: He is a fierce and physical defender who plays angry as he has something to prove. He has a well-proportioned frame that he applies much as a press corner. He uses his jam technique on the receiver at the line of scrimmage and uses his fluid hips to track him down the field. He plays well in man coverage and is no slouch in the zone defense. However, he mostly fit in man coverages because he keeps everything in front of him. He will contest for all ball in the air and has a great knack of batting them away. He is a  willing participant that will come up for run support and put all of his but cheeks into the leverage.

Weaknesses: He tends to allow his eagerness to get the best of him, creating too many penalties. He has shorter arms for a defender of his size and how they will transition to the next level. He tends to open up to early while in off man coverages that allow his cushion to be eaten or cause separation for intermediate routes. He has good short burst speed but lacks the long speed to chase down an offensive player in the open field.​

Draft Grade: 6.19

Draft Projection: 2nd - 3rd round

NFL Comparison: Malcolm Butler
